"Love the Forest School!"

We've been at Holbeton for 3 years now and my child just loves the Forest School. The teachers are so enthusiastic and the kids get to do so much hands-on learning. The values of the school like Guidance and Resilience really shine through in the way the children are encouraged to try new things.

"Still finding my footing"

We're still relatively new to Holbeton, but I have mixed feelings. The teachers are nice and the uniform is lovely. However, my child is struggling to make friends and I'm not sure about the P.E. kit policy. I hope it settles down soon.

"Great community spirit!"

My child is only in Reception but we've already seen how welcoming the school is. The parent-teacher relationships are strong and the teachers are always willing to listen. The Farm School trips have been a highlight so far!
