"Exceptional School Experience"

We've had our child at Old Basford School for a few years now, and we're thoroughly impressed with the facilities, staff, and overall atmosphere. The chess team is a great example of the school's commitment to extracurricular activities. Our child has grown so much, academically and personally, and we're grateful for the opportunities they've been given.

"Mixed Experience"

We've had a mixed experience with Old Basford School. On the one hand, our child has made some great friends, and the school's facilities are excellent. On the other hand, we've experienced some communication issues with teachers and staff. Perhaps with more open communication, we could have avoided some of the challenges we faced.

"A Great Foundation for Life"

Although our child has moved on to secondary school, we still keep in touch with the Old Basford community. The school's values and ethos had a profound impact on our child's development, and we'll always be grateful for the experience. The school's commitment to extracurricular activities, such as the football team, was also a highlight.
