"Mixed Feelings"

While we've had some great experiences with Heron Cross Primary, we've had some issues with communication from the school office. The curriculum seems engaging, and our child enjoys the after-school clubs. However, we've noticed some inconsistency in the quality of teaching.

"Exceptional School with a Family Feel"

We had an amazing experience at Heron Cross Primary and were sad to leave when our child moved to secondary school. The values of respect, resilience, and kindness are genuinely lived by the staff and students. We also appreciated the variety of enrichment activities and school trips.
