"Wonderful school with fantastic facilities"

We've been so impressed with the facilities at Malmesbury Primary, particularly the Early Years setting and the modern library. The teachers and staff are all so friendly and supportive, and they really embody the school's values of kindness and respect. We've seen our child thrive in their time at the school and we're so grateful to be a part of the community. Highly recommended!

"Bringing out the best in our child"

Malmesbury Primary has been a game-changer for our family. The school's emphasis on building resilience and encouraging creativity has been amazing to see in our child. We love the topic-based approach to learning and the way the teachers use language-rich texts to engage the children. The school's values of kindness, respect, and consideration towards others are really instilled in the kids, and we're so proud of the young person our child is becoming.

"Mixed feelings about our experience"

We moved to Malmesbury Primary a few years ago, hoping to find a school that would provide a more nurturing environment for our child. While we've seen some improvements in the facilities and the curriculum, we've had some issues with communication from the school. The teachers are mostly lovely, but the SENCO could be more responsive to our needs. Overall, it's been a decent experience, but we're not entirely satisfied.
