"Some Good, Some Not So Good"

We've been at Burntstump Seely for a year now, and while we've had some great experiences, there are a few things that we feel need improvement. The music program is excellent, and our child loves being part of the school choir. However, we've had some issues with communication from the school, and we feel that the facilities could be better maintained. Overall, it's a good school, but there's room for improvement.

"Our Lovely School Experience!"

We've been at Burntstump Seely for 5 years now, and it's been an absolute pleasure. The staff are friendly and caring, and the facilities are great - the children love the outdoor space. We especially appreciate the Christian values that are instilled in the children, it's lovely to see them grow into confident and compassionate individuals.
