"An Amazing School Community!"

I'm so grateful to have found Crowcombe Primary. The school's values of love, encourage, achieve and flourish shine through in everything they do. From the mini-bus that takes our kids to school, to the amazing WOW days, our children are thriving. We love the sense of community and how the teachers support each child's individual needs.

"Mixed Feelings"

My child is enjoying Crowcombe Primary, but I do have some concerns about the communication between teachers and parents. The mini-bus is a great perk, but I wish there were more opportunities for parents to get involved in school life. Overall, it's a good school, but I think it could improve in a few areas.
