"Wonderful School, Wonderful Staff"

We've been at Snapethorpe Primary for 3 years now and I can honestly say it's the best school our child has ever attended. The staff are caring, dedicated and go above and beyond to make sure our child is happy and achieving their best. We love the facilities, especially the outdoor play areas and the Inspire Morning initiative.

"Excellent Education and Care"

Our child attended Snapethorpe Primary from Year 3 to Year 6 and we couldn't be happier with the education and care they received. The staff were always approachable and communicated regularly with us about our child's progress. We've recommended the school to friends and family and will be staying in touch with the school community even though our child has moved on.

"Mixed Feelings"

We've had a mixed experience at Snapethorpe Primary so far. Our child loves their teachers and the Phonics and Early Reading program, but we've had some issues with communication from the school office and the school uniform is a bit pricey. Overall, we're giving it another year to see if things improve.
