- **4/5** — A Mixed Bag: As a current governor and parent at Abacus Primary School, I have a unique perspective on the school. While I'm proud of the school's Dementia Friendly status and commitment to community engagement, I've been disappointed with the school's recent focus on SATs. I think the school could do more to support children's mental health and well-being. *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — Great Experience for My Child: My child attended Abacus Primary School for two years and I was impressed with the school's commitment to providing a well-rounded education. The teachers were engaging and enthusiastic, and my child developed a love of learning. However, I did find the school's communication to be a bit disjointed at times. *(Jul 2021)*
