"A Wonderful School!"

We've been extremely happy with Gunthorpe Primary School. The values of communication, ambition, and resilience have really shone through in our daughter's learning. The school's commitment to wellbeing and quality relationships is something that we truly appreciate. The after-school clubs and activities have also been a great way for her to develop new skills and interests.

"Room for Improvement"

We had a mixed experience at Gunthorpe Primary School. While we appreciated the school's commitment to its core values and the provision of after-school clubs, we sometimes felt that the school could do more to support children with SEN. However, our child did make some great friends and had some wonderful teachers.
