"A Good School with Room for Improvement"

We've been at Icknield Walk First School for a year now and have had a mostly positive experience. The staff are friendly and the facilities are nice. However, I've found the communication with the school to be a bit hit-or-miss at times, and the after-school activities are a bit limited. Overall, it's a good school, but there's room for improvement.

"A School That Cares"

My child attended Icknield Walk First School for a few years and I was impressed by the care and attention shown by the staff. The school's commitment to emotional wellbeing and mental health support is particularly noteworthy. While there were some minor issues with communication, overall I'm very pleased with our experience.
