"Some improvements needed"

My child has had a generally positive experience at Old Sarum Primary School. However, I feel that the curriculum could be more challenging for the older children and there have been a few issues with communication from the school about upcoming events. We're moving to a new area soon so I'm not sure if we'll stay but so far it's been okay.

"Lovely community"

We moved to a new area and my child had to switch schools. I was worried how they would settle in but Old Sarum Primary School welcomed them with open arms. The class trips and events are well-organised and inclusive. My child still keeps in touch with their former class friends!

"Fantastic school"

I've been blown away by the quality of the teaching and the care that the teachers show to my child. The PTA is also very active and supportive. We had a great time at the Teddy Takeover and the Easter egg hunt was a highlight of the year!

"Best school ever!"

I've been so impressed with Old Sarum Primary School. The facilities are great, especially the playground and the art room. My child loves the Brave program and the values of the school really shine through. I would highly recommend this school to anyone!
