"A School that truly cares"

I've been blown away by the dedication and passion of the staff at Lumiar. The way they encourage the children to explore and learn at their own pace is incredible. My child has grown so much and is so much happier since joining.

"A refreshing change from the norm"

My child has been at Lumiar for a year now and I've seen a real shift in their confidence and love of learning. The weekly farm visits and 'Read the World' sessions have been a highlight for them. The only reason I'm not giving a 5-star review is because I feel the school could benefit from more outdoor play equipment.

"A truly unique experience"

My child was at Lumiar for 3 years and it was a truly magical time. The way the school celebrates individuality and encourages creativity is wonderful. I especially appreciated the 'Circle Time' sessions where the children got to discuss and vote on important issues. If I had one criticism, it would be that the school could benefit from some more structure and consistency in their lesson planning.
