"Happy with Hillbourne!"

I've been so impressed with Hillbourne Primary School. My child has grown so much both academically and emotionally. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the school's values of being safe, respectful and ready are evident in everything they do. The facilities are great too - my child loves the sports hall and playground.

"The best school ever!"

Honestly, this primary was the best thing that ever happened to me. I made all my greatest memories here, and have so many friendships of which I am still in contact with to this day. The school itself is a welcoming community, and an amazing school. With teachers who are lovely, and always there to help you no matter what. In terms of education, it does not fail to impress. The classes are kept educational; yet also able to entertain us, and keep us wanting to learn. The playground is filled with a plethora of; play-equiptment, areas to sit with your friends, a massive field, and more. Ontop of this, we were introduced to a vast array of opportunities through; school trips, assemblies, non-uniform days, e.t.c. This school has built me up to be the person I am today, and I am able to be successful primarily because of the education, and life lessons in which I was lucky enough to be taught to, as an impressionable child.
In conclusion, this would be the perfect school to send your child/children to when September comes around. Even half-way through the year, the school is there for a warm-welcome to all new students. I highly recommend this school, and hope you( if you're looking for a school to join)/ or your kids, have the best time here, and make the most of the memories which can be attained. If it was up to me, I would genuinely want to leave my secondary, so I could have a chance of going back here.

"Excellent school"

We've been part of the Hillbourne community for a few years now, and I must say I'm thoroughly impressed. The school's commitment to inclusivity and social responsibility is something I really admire. My child loves the after-school clubs and the school's approach to mental health and wellbeing is really supportive.

"Some good, some not so good"

I have mixed feelings about Hillbourne. On the one hand, my child loved their time there and made some great friends. The school's pastoral support is excellent, and the staff are generally very friendly. However, I felt that the communication between the school and parents could be better, and my child sometimes found the homework a bit challenging.
