"Mixed feelings"

We're generally happy with Lulworth and Winfrith, but feel that the school could improve in a few areas. The facilities are great, but we've had some issues with communication from the teachers. Our child is happy and learning well, but we're not entirely convinced about the school's approach to phonics.

"Great school, great people!"

We sent our child to Lulworth and Winfrith from reception to year 5 and had a fantastic experience. The school's commitment to coastal learning and the arts was really unique and engaging for our child. We're so grateful for the education they received here.
