Testimonials

  • The staff are wonderful, kind and caring to all the children and parents. The classrooms are fun and inviting with work and pictures of the children everywhere. My child strives to do work that will be put up on display. The staff set goals that my child wants to work towards and is proud when he reaches them.

  • Rowsley is a wonderful community school which adds a personal touch. The staff clearly care about all the children's wellbeing. They are always available for advice on a personal level. I cannot fault anything about the school. Thank you for making my child's school such a happy place.

  • I think that it’s very clear what is required of both the children in terms of their learning and behaviour and how we as parents can support that. If I have ever had a question and emailed my child’s teacher, we have had a response that day. We love how approachable every single teacher in this school is and my child thrives in this environment. It’s a real community vibe, it’s friendly, caring and welcoming. The core values of this school are wonderful and it’s evident that they are instilled in the children.

    Parent

    Parent
  • Friendly environment, beautiful location, caring ethos, good results, my child is happy
