- **5/5** — Wonderful Facilities and Values!: Higher Failsworth Primary has exceeded our expectations in every way. The school's focus on social, emotional, and academic development has helped my child grow into a confident and capable learner.

- **5/5** — Excellent School Community!: My child has only just started at Higher Failsworth Primary and we've been so impressed by the warm welcome and support she's received. The school's value of 'every child matters' really shines through in the way the teachers and staff care for each child. We're excited to see her grow and thrive within this happy and caring community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for Improvement: We were happy with the education our child received at Higher Failsworth Primary, but we felt that the school could have done more to support their SEN needs. The staff were generally responsive and caring, but we sometimes felt that they were overwhelmed by the demands of the school. Overall, we're grateful for the experience our child had, but we would encourage the school to consider ways to improve SEN support. *(Aug 2021)*
