"Exceptional Start to Education"

Our daughter has settled in beautifully at Sholing Infant School. The 'family atmosphere' we've read about on the website is genuinely present - she loves starting her day with her friends and the supportive teachers make every effort to make her feel included. We're so grateful to be part of this community!

"Good, but Room for Improvement"

We had a mixed experience at Sholing Infant School. On the one hand, our child thrived during their time there and benefited from the school's emphasis on practical learning experiences. However, we sometimes felt that communication between home and school could be improved. Overall, it's a good school, but there's definitely room for growth.

"Friendly and Supportive School"

We're very pleased with Sholing Infant School. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the school's focus on developing confident and independent learners really resonates with us. The 'Moments Matter' program is also brilliant - our son loves sharing his thoughts and ideas in class.
