"Fantastic School!"

We moved to the area last year and I was nervous about my son joining a new school, but Shay Lane Primary has been amazing. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and the facilities are excellent. My son loves the breakfast club and the playground. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful school!

"A good school with some areas for improvement"

We've been very happy with our experience at Shay Lane Primary so far. The teachers are enthusiastic and engaging, and the school has a lovely atmosphere. However, I've noticed that the school could benefit from some more extracurricular activities and sports facilities. Overall, we're pleased with the education our child is receiving.

"Great values and community"

I have two children who attended Shay Lane Primary and I was very impressed with the school's values of belonging, believing and becoming. The staff were always supportive and encouraging, and my children thrived in a positive and inclusive environment. We have many happy memories of our time at Shay Lane!
