"Excellent choice for our family"

We moved to Rayleigh last year and were so impressed with the warm welcome we received at FitzWimarc. Our daughter has settled in amazingly well and loves attending the school. The facilities are excellent, especially the cooking and catering department where she's made some great friends.

"Supportive and inclusive environment"

We've been blown away by the support and inclusivity at FitzWimarc. Our son has a disability and the school has been fantastic in accommodating his needs. The Happy School Bag scheme is also a great initiative, and we appreciate the efforts they make to make everyone feel welcome.

"Great school, but some areas for improvement"

We had a great experience at FitzWimarc, but I felt that the school could do more to engage with parents. My son was very happy there, and we were impressed with the values and ethos. However, I did feel that the communication could be better.
