Craneswater Junior School has been a great choice for our family. The teachers are always available to talk and offer support when needed. The programs they offer, such as Outdoor Learning, are fantastic and really encourage the children to get outside and be active.

"Some mixed feelings"

While we're happy with the school overall, we've had some issues with communication and the amount of homework given. That being said, our child loves going to school and the values they teach are great. We're hoping things will improve and we'll become more engaged with the school community.
