"Some positives, some room for improvement"

My daughter is in year 4 at Kirkby Thore School and while she enjoys her time there, I do have some concerns about the consistency of teaching quality. The facilities are lovely and the staff are generally friendly, but there are times when the school feels a bit disorganized. I hope to see some improvements in the coming years.

My daughter is thriving at Kirkby Thore School. The staff are so supportive and the school's 'safe, respectful and ready to learn' values really resonate with me. I'm so grateful for the after-school clubs and activities, especially the art classes! The school's focus on community and kindness is just wonderful.

"A great foundation for life"

My children attended Kirkby Thore School from nursery to year 6 and I couldn't be happier with the education and care they received. The school's approach to learning is engaging and inclusive, and the values they instill in children are truly valuable. We miss the school's community events and festivals but are so grateful for the memories!
