"Mixed experiences"

We've had a mixed experience at Charfield. On the one hand, the staff are friendly and the facilities are lovely. However, we've had some issues with communication and the school's approach to certain subjects. Our child has also struggled with some of the homework, which can be quite challenging. Overall, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for us.

"Excellent education and care"

My two children attended Charfield from Reception to Year 6 and we were consistently impressed with the quality of education and care they received. The staff are dedicated and passionate about their work, and the school's focus on developing the whole child is evident in everything they do. We couldn't be happier with our experience at Charfield!
