"Wonderful Community and Supportive Environment"
We have been at Verwood First School for a year now and I couldn't be happier with the progress our child has made. The school's values of 'being the light and hope' really shine through in the way the staff and children interact with each other. My child loves coming to school every day.

"Great Experience, Room for Improvement"
We moved to the area when our child was in Reception and we were really impressed with the school's nursery and reception classes. However, as our child progressed through the school, we felt that the curriculum could have been more engaging and challenging. Still, the school has a wonderful community spirit and our child has made many friends.
