"A School That Truly Cares"

We've been at Sharow for a year now and I've been impressed by the way the staff and teachers genuinely care about each child's well-being and happiness. The school's commitment to outdoor learning is great and my daughter loves the forest school sessions. Can't recommend enough!

"Some Good Points, But..."

We've had mixed experiences at Sharow Church of England Primary School. On the one hand, the staff are generally friendly and the forest school area is amazing. However, we've found the school's communication with parents to be a bit patchy at times and the school meal menu could be improved. Overall, still a good school, but room for improvement.

"Wonderful School - Highly Recommended"

We moved out of the area a few years ago, but our children still talk fondly of their time at Sharow Church of England Primary School. The school's commitment to their values and the way they work with the local community is truly impressive. If you're looking for a school that will give your child the best possible start in life, look no further.
