"A great community spirit"

Mabe Community Primary School has been a great fit for our family. The children are encouraged to work together and support each other, and the staff are always on hand to offer help and advice. My child loves the phonics and reading programme and the outdoor learning experiences are fantastic. However, I do wish there were more opportunities for extra curriculum activities.

"Great school but some issues with communication"

We've been at Mabe Community Primary School for a few years now and overall, we're happy with the education our child is receiving. However, I do think the school could improve on communication with parents. Sometimes it feels like information is not shared promptly or clearly. That being said, the school's values are excellent and the staff are always friendly and approachable.

"Wonderful school in every way!"

We've had a fantastic experience at Mabe Community Primary School. The staff are friendly and dedicated, and the facilities are fantastic, especially the forest school area. My child has loved learning about the local community and the importance of helping others. The values of the school really shine through and we feel lucky to be a part of it.

"Excellent education and values"

We moved out of the area but I still keep in touch with the staff at Mabe. My child thrived under their care and the education they received was outstanding. I loved how the school encouraged the children to be brave, work hard and help others. The nursery and early years unit was also a highlight - my child loved the eco-classroom!
