"Some Room for Improvement"

We have been generally happy with our experience at Captains Close Primary School, but there are a few areas where we feel the school could improve. The school's communication with parents could be better, and we have found some of the homework to be a bit too much for our child. However, the teachers are generally supportive and the school's facilities are modern and well-maintained.

"Outstanding School Experience"

We have been thoroughly impressed with Captains Close Primary School. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, the staff are friendly and approachable, and the values of the school are truly evident in the way the children are encouraged to respect and care for one another. My child has thrived in this nurturing environment and I couldn't recommend the school more.

"A Great Start to School"

My child is in their first year at Captains Close Primary School and we have been pleased with the progress they have made. The school's emphasis on healthy lifestyles and active citizenship is something that we, as parents, feel is very important and the teachers are always happy to discuss our child's progress with us.
