"Excellent Facilities and Teaching"

We're extremely happy with Windmill Primary School so far. The school's facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the teachers are passionate and knowledgeable. Our child loves attending the after-school clubs, particularly music and art. We're grateful for the dedicated SENCO team who provide additional support whenever needed.

Windmill Primary School has been an absolute delight for our family. The staff are friendly, supportive and genuinely care about each child's well-being. We love the emphasis on teamwork, friendship and community, which is clearly evident in the school's values. My child loves the Forest School program and makes new friends every day!

"Good Experience, but Some Hiccups"

As a former parent at Windmill Primary School, I had mixed feelings about our experience. On the one hand, the school's values and community were wonderful, and our child enjoyed the creative curriculum. However, we encountered some issues with communication from the school, particularly around our child's special educational needs. I hope the school continues to improve in this area.
