"Wonderful School and Facilities"

Twin Sails Infant and Nursery School has been a fantastic choice for my child. The school's values of Every Child, Every Day, Every Possibility really shine through in the way the teachers and staff support the children. The facilities are excellent, with a large sports field, MUGA sports facility and a working allotment garden - my child loves helping out in the garden!

"Good but could be better"

I have mixed feelings about Twin Sails. The school has a lot of great facilities and the teachers are generally friendly and supportive. However, I felt that my child's individual needs were not always met and the communication with parents could be improved. Overall, it was an okay experience for us, but I think the school could do more to engage with parents and provide a more tailored education.
