"Room for Improvement"

We've been pleased with the progress our child has made at Dundale Primary, but we do feel that the curriculum could be more engaging at times. Also, the school's facilities, while generally good, could benefit from some updates. Despite this, we're committed to giving the school the benefit of the doubt and hope to see improvements in these areas.

"Wonderful School Experience"

We moved to Tring last year and were so impressed with the warm welcome from the staff at Dundale Primary. Our child has thrived in the inclusive environment and has made friends easily. We love the emphasis on core values and the opportunities for children to develop their thinking, social and learning skills.

"A Great Place to Learn"

My child attended Dundale Primary from Reception to Year 2 and had a fantastic experience. The school's focus on inclusion and core values really resonated with us and we felt confident that our child was in good hands. While there are always areas for improvement, we were generally very pleased with the education and care provided.
