"Some concerns, but generally positive"

While we've been happy with Primrose Lane Primary overall, we've had a few issues with communication from teachers and the school office. The SEND support has been great, however, and our child is settling in well. We're still hopeful that things will improve.

"Lovely memories and a great start"

We had a wonderful time at Primrose Lane Primary when our child was younger. The teachers were always approachable, and the extracurricular activities were a great way to keep kids engaged. Although we've moved on to a new area, we still have fond memories of our time at the school.
