"Some Great Aspects, Some Room for Improvement"

Overall, I'm pleased with Chancel Primary School, but I do think there's room for improvement in terms of communication with parents. I've had some issues getting in touch with teachers and support staff, but the school's focus on early years education is really impressive.

"Excellent Early Years Provision"

I have to say, I was blown away by the Puffin Nursery! My child thrived there and the early years staff were absolutely fantastic. The communication and support were top-notch, and I felt confident leaving my child in their care.
