"A School that Truly Cares"

I've been blown away by the dedication of the staff at Ford Primary. My child feels happy and confident, and the 'Foster Curiosity' approach really resonates with me as a parent. The breakfast club is a great addition too!

"Good Experience, Minor Issues"

I have mixed feelings about Ford Primary. My child enjoyed their time there, but we experienced some issues with communication from the school. The facilities are great, and the teachers are enthusiastic.
