"Great Experience for Our Daughter"

Our daughter attended Horningsham Primary School for 5 years and had a fantastic experience. The staff were always approachable and the school's commitment to outdoor learning was something she really enjoyed. She made some wonderful friends and I think the school's focus on 'the best they can be' really helped her grow as a person.

"Mixed Feelings on Our Experience"

We moved to the area and were initially impressed with Horningsham Primary School. The facilities are certainly impressive and the staff seem to care about the children. However, I've found the communication with teachers to be a bit patchy at times. Overall, I think the school has its strengths but there's room for improvement.
