"Exceptional school experience!"

We've been at Rothersthorpe for two years now and I couldn't be happier with the education and care our child is receiving. The New Age Kurling team's victory is just one example of the school's dedication to extracurricular activities and teamwork. My child is thriving in a supportive and inclusive environment.

My child attended Rothersthorpe from Year 1 to Year 6 and we're thoroughly impressed with the school's facilities, including the village hall which serves as a school hall. The staff are caring, supportive and dedicated to providing a well-rounded education. We're grateful for the values instilled in our child during their time at the school.

"Some mixed feelings"

While we've had a mostly positive experience at Rothersthorpe, there have been some issues with communication and organisation. However, the school's values and approach to education are excellent, and my child is happy and thriving. We're hoping that the school will continue to address our concerns and improve in these areas.
