"A True Community School"

My son attended South Marston CE Primary from reception to year 6 and it was an incredible experience for him. The school's focus on community, hope and perseverance really resonated with us as a family. The facilities are excellent and the staff are passionate about what they do. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this school to anyone.

"Mixed Feelings"

I've been impressed with the school's values and the way they promote British values, but I've found communication with the staff to be a bit hit and miss. My son enjoys his time at school and the teachers seem to genuinely care about the children's progress. I'm not sure if it's the right school for everyone, but it's been okay for us.
