- **5/5** — Excellent School and Staff!: We've been at Sambourne for 3 years now and couldn't be happier! The facilities are amazing, especially the new library and outdoor classroom. The staff are so supportive and caring, always going the extra mile to help our children. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — A Great Place to Learn: My children attended Sambourne a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed their time there. The school's values of 'Learn to Love - Love to Learn' really shine through in the way the staff teach and care for the children. The breakfast club and after-school activities were also a big hit with our family. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for Improvement: We've been a bit disappointed with the school's communication with parents, but the teachers are lovely and our child has settled in well. The facilities are nice, but the lunch menu could be more varied and healthy. Overall, we're still giving it a chance and hoping things will improve. *(Jun 2022)*
