"A Wonderful School for My Child!"

We've been at Copnor Primary for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier with the education and care my child is receiving. The staff are warm and welcoming, the facilities are excellent, and the values they're teaching are fantastic. We've seen a huge improvement in our child's confidence and enthusiasm for learning.

"Our Child Loves Coming to School!"

We've been at Copnor Primary for a year now and our child is absolutely thriving. The staff are amazing, the facilities are great, and the values they're teaching are wonderful. We love the 'Aspire and Achieve' motto and the way the school encourages our child to be their best self.

"Great School, Some Room for Improvement"

We left Copnor Primary last year after our child moved to secondary school. We loved the school's focus on creativity and the '50 Things To Do Before You're 5' concept was a great way to encourage learning outside of the classroom. However, I felt that the school could benefit from more parental involvement and better communication with parents.
