The school has a lovely warm feel and the teachers are all so supportive and caring. My child's confidence has grown so much since starting here and they love the Forest School sessions and after-school clubs. *(Jun 2022)* - **4/5** — Some Nice Aspects, but Room for Improvement: We've had a mixed experience at Bemerton St John so far. Our child is enjoying the phonics and art lessons, but we've had some issues with communication from the school and the playground can get a bit chaotic at times. The staff do seem to care about the children, but we feel that they could do more to engage with parents and provide clearer information about what's going on. *(Mar 2022)* - **5/5** — A Special Place for Our Children: Our children attended Bemerton St John for 7 years and we have many happy memories of their time there. The school's values of respect, gratitude and perseverance really shone through in the way the children were taught and the relationships they formed. We loved the opportunities for them to participate in music, drama and art. *(Sep 2021)* ## Other schools in Salisbury - [Harnham Church of England Controlled Junior School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/salisbury/harnham-church-of-england-controlled-junior-school-10398) — 5.0/5 (4 reviews) - [King's Gate Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/salisbury/kings-gate-primary-school-20014) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Harnham Infants' School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/salisbury/harnham-infants-school-10355) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Pembroke Park Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/salisbury/pembroke-park-primary-school-14550) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Sixpenny Handley First School and Nursery](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/salisbury/sixpenny-handley-first-school-and-nursery-17094) — 4.7/5 (4 reviews) - [Old Sarum Primary School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/salisbury/old-sarum-primary-school-22397) — 4.7/5 (4 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
