"Wonderful Preston Primary School!"
I am so grateful to have found Preston Primary School for my child. The staff are kind, supportive and truly care about the children. Our child has grown so much since starting here and loves going to school every day. The 'Be Kind' value is something they are really passionate about and it's wonderful to see.

"Preston Primary School has it all!"
My daughter attended Preston Primary School from Reception to Year 6 and I couldn't be more impressed. The innovative curriculum, excellent teaching and wonderful facilities made her educational journey truly special. She has since gone on to excel in secondary school and I firmly believe Preston Primary laid the foundation for her success.

"Preston Primary has some great qualities..."
I'm torn about our experience at Preston Primary School. The staff are lovely, but the communication from the school could be better. My child loves their teacher and the 'Creativity' value is something they really enjoy, but there have been times when we've felt left in the dark about important events. I hope they can work on this.

"Preston Primary School is a gem!"
I've been impressed by the school's commitment to 'Respect' and how it's embedded in everyday life. My child has grown in confidence and loves the extracurricular activities on offer. Although there have been some minor issues with the online learning platform, overall I'm extremely happy with the school.
