"Excellent School, Great Staff"

My son started at Valley End in Reception and we've been really impressed with the progress he's made. The staff are supportive, the school's Christian values align with our own and the facilities are modern and well-maintained. One minor criticism is the lack of availability for Wrap-Around Care

"A Great School, Though a Bit Busy"

My daughter attended Valley End from Reception to Year 2 and we had a generally great experience. The staff were friendly, the school's curriculum was engaging and the facilities were well-maintained. However, the school can get quite busy, especially during drop-off and pick-up times, which can be chaotic
