"Fantastic school community!"
We've been so impressed with Forest Town Primary School. The values of 'Work Hard, Be Kind' are really evident in the way the children treat each other and the staff. The teachers are always available to talk and offer support. My child loves the outdoor learning and the sports facilities are great too.

"A loving environment for my child"
Forest Town Primary School is an absolute gem! My child has grown so much since starting here, and I love the emphasis on kindness and hard work. The teachers are so supportive, and the facilities are top-notch. I've seen so many happy children playing in the park on the way home from school, it's lovely.

"Good, but could be better"
We had a mixed experience at Forest Town Primary School. The teachers were great, but the school was a bit disorganized at times, and the communication could be better. However, the facilities are lovely, and the park is a great place for the kids to play. Overall, it's an okay school, but could use some improvement.
