"Generally Positive Experience"

We've had a good experience at Shirley Warren, but there have been some issues with communication and consistency. The governor's involvement in the school is a strength, as is the emphasis on community involvement. However, we've had some concerns with attendance and the school meals could be improved.

"Excellent School Experience"

We've been so impressed with the care and education our child has received at Shirley Warren. The values of nurture, thrive, and achieve really shine through in everything they do. The facilities are also fantastic, especially the wraparound care which has been a lifesaver for us.

"Wonderful School from Start to Finish"

We sent both our children to Shirley Warren and the experience was consistently excellent. The staff are warm, welcoming, and dedicated to helping each child grow. We love the focus on reading at home and the school meals are a highlight of the day!
