"Wonderful School!"

We are thoroughly enjoying our time at Oakthorpe Primary School. The teachers are so supportive and the facilities are excellent, especially the forest school area. We love the emphasis on 'Dream...Believe...Achieve' too - it really feels like we're part of a friendly community.

"A true gem!"

We moved to Oakthorpe three years ago and our child thrived at the school. The teachers were so dedicated and the values of 'Dream...Believe...Achieve' really resonated with us. We've since moved to a different area but I still keep in touch with the school and am so grateful for the experience.

"Average experience"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Oakthorpe Primary. The teachers are generally nice and the facilities are okay, but sometimes we feel a bit let down by the lack of resources and support. We're hoping things will improve as the year goes on.

"A great school"

We were a bit hesitant about moving to a new school but Oakthorpe Primary has been a great choice. The staff are lovely and the facilities are really well-maintained. My child has really settled in and loves the outdoor learning opportunities.
