"Wonderful School Experience"

I've been really impressed with the standard of education here at Throckley Primary. The teachers are supportive and enthusiastic, and the facilities are excellent. My child has made some great friends and loves coming to school every day. One thing I would say is that the parking can be a bit chaotic at drop-off and pick-up time!

"Best School Ever!"

We moved to Throckley from a different area and I'm so glad we chose this school for our child. The nursery teachers, Miss Sewell and Miss Williamson, were fantastic and helped our little one settle in so quickly. The Throckley Values of pride, success, and respect are just amazing and it's lovely to see the children embodying these values every day.

"Love the School's Positive Atmosphere"

I've been so impressed with the school's positive attitude towards learning and the children. The teachers are all so friendly and approachable, and the facilities are really well-maintained. My child loves playing in the playground and the staff always seem to be doing something new and exciting. The only thing I would say is that some of the equipment in the nursery could do with an update.

"Best Decision We Ever Made"

We sent our two children to Throckley Primary and they had an absolutely fantastic time. The school's focus on individual achievement and progress was exactly what we were looking for. The 'Throckley Values' were a big part of their education and have stayed with them to this day. We couldn't be happier with the education they received here.
