I was so impressed with Lavenham Primary School from the moment my child started. The Victorian building is beautiful and has been modernised to provide a bright and spacious learning environment. The values and vision of the school align with our own and I feel confident that my child is in a happy and secure place.

"A bit too focused on tests?"

We were happy with Lavenham Primary School when our child was there, but we did feel that it was a bit too focused on testing and assessments. Perhaps this has changed since we left, but it did feel that the school was more worried about meeting targets than about the children's wellbeing.
