"Exceptional school with caring staff!"

My child has been at Thornbury Primary School for a year now, and I have seen her grow and thrive in this nurturing environment. The staff are always available to support my child and offer guidance on how I can help her at home. The facilities are excellent, with a wonderful playground and outdoor spaces that encourage learning through play.

"Generally a good experience, but some issues"

We had a good experience at Thornbury Primary School while our child was there. The facilities are excellent, and the staff are usually friendly and helpful. However, we did have some issues with communication and consistency in certain areas. Overall, I would recommend the school, but with some caveats.
