"Our Happy Child"

We've been really impressed with Downsbrook so far. The class teachers are approachable and the school's ethos of care for the whole child really resonates with us. Our child has settled in quickly and is making lots of new friends.

"Amazing School Experience"

We've been at Downsbrook for 3 years now and couldn't be happier. The staff are supportive and enthusiastic, and the facilities are excellent, especially the outdoor play areas. My child has grown so much in confidence and the values of the school really shine through in their attitude and behaviour.

"A Real Gem"

We visited a few schools before settling on Downsbrook and we're so glad we made the choice. The headteacher's welcome made us feel part of the community and the Forest School program was a big draw for us. Our child loves it here and we're loving watching them grow and learn.

"A Decent School, but..."

We had a positive experience at Downsbrook with our child, but there were a few issues with communication from the teachers. The SEND support was excellent, but we felt the school could improve in this area.
