"Mixed Feelings about Our Experience"

We have had a bit of a mixed experience with Rushton CE First School. While our child has enjoyed their time at the school and the staff have been friendly, we have found the communication between teachers and parents to be sometimes lacking. We are hoping that things will improve in the next year.

"Excellent Education and Support"

Our child attended Rushton CE First School from Y1 to Y6 and we have nothing but praise for the education and support they received. The school's focus on SEND provision was particularly helpful in supporting our child's individual needs. We are grateful for the positive impact the school has had on our child's life.
