"Great school with a friendly atmosphere"

We moved to the area recently and were impressed by the welcoming atmosphere at Palace Fields Primary. The Free Breakfast Club is a lovely touch and our child enjoys the school day. The staff are always approachable and keep us informed about our child's progress.

"Some good aspects, but improvement needed"

We have mixed feelings about our experience at Palace Fields Primary. The school's focus on Kindness and Integrity is admirable, but we felt that the teaching quality varied between classes. The facilities are good, but we would have liked to see more opportunities for children to take part in extracurricular activities.
