"Mixed feelings about Petworth CofE Primary"

My child has only just started at Petworth CofE Primary, so it's early days. While the staff seem friendly and the facilities are nice, I'm still waiting to see more evidence of the school's commitment to British values and community engagement. Fingers crossed it improves as the year goes on!

"Petworth CofE Primary is a hidden gem!"

We moved away from Petworth, but my child still talks about their time at Petworth CofE Primary fondly. The school's commitment to sustainability and community is admirable. While there were some minor issues with communication, overall we're grateful for the education and values my child received.
