"Excellent school experience!"

We've been at Walkergate for 3 years and I've seen our child grow so much. The staff are supportive and the facilities are great, especially the new library. The values of the school really shine through in the way the teachers interact with the children.

"Some great aspects, but room for improvement"

We're happy with Walkergate overall, but we've had some issues with communication between teachers and parents. The school's emphasis on inclusion and diversity is great to see, but some classes can get a bit large. We're hoping to see some changes in these areas soon.

"Walkergate really cares"

I was a parent here for 7 years and saw my children thrive. The school's focus on relational practice really made a difference in their education and emotional well-being. I'm grateful for the strong foundations they received.
