"Perranporth School - Amazing Experience"

I'm so grateful to have chosen Perranporth School for my daughter. The facilities are fantastic, especially the adventure playground and forest classroom. The teachers are dedicated and supportive, and the values of the school really shine through in the way the children behave and learn. We couldn't be happier!

"A Great Primary School"

We've had a great experience at Perranporth School so far. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the curriculum is well-rounded and engaging. My son loves going to school and is really progressing. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the school could do with some more parking spaces, but that's a minor complaint!

"Some Positives, Some Negatives"

We've been at Perranporth School for a year now, and it's been a mixed experience. The teachers are generally good, and the facilities are lovely. However, we've had some issues with communication and organization, and my child has struggled with the curriculum in some areas. Overall, it's an okay school, but we're not entirely satisfied.
