What parents say about our school

"This school goes above and beyond for each child and treats all of them as individuals."

(Reception parent)

'Thank you so much to little explorers. My daughter has made amazing progress over the last 18 months and her report demonstrates how well the teachers know her. They have challenged her and cared for her so well and have given her the best start. I feel she is well prepared for reception and that is thanks to the teachers'.

(Nursery parent)

"Both of our children have been on roll at Thelwall infant school and have thrived. The progress our children have made and continue to make throughout their time at the school is excellent and we as parents have been kept informed of their progress throughout. Communication from the school is good and as parents our views are listened to as part of parent voice. Personal development opportunities for children are brilliant with both of our children learning about and developing a wide range of key skills and personal attributes that are fundamental in their development as young people. Both of my children have grown in confidence through the nurturing environment that is created for all pupils by the fabulous staff in this school."

(reception parent)

"My son has thoroughly enjoyed his time at Thelwall Infants, he has never had a day when he hasn’t wanted to attend school. He is always happy at the end of the day and talks fondly of so many staff members even down to the kitchen team. I’m really pleased with the progress he has made, and most importantly his fun loving loving outlook on life which has been encouraged by all the staff in school. Well done team Thelwall Infants!"

(Year 2 parent)

'We’d like to thank everyone at the school, Including the team in link club, we’re so very happy that we chose Thelwall to send the girls here. Every single member of staff we’ve had interaction with and even the ones we’ve haven't, (based on the girls positive feedback) fill us with confidence in knowing that they’re in the best possible setting we could hope for. Well done team.'

(Nursery and Year 1 parent)

"My son has really enjoyed his time at nursery. That staff have been amazing and he has made so much progress thanks to their support and kindness."

It has been such a wonderful school for both of our children and we are really happy with the school and everything that the teaching staff have done to support them over the years.

A huge thank you to all the wonderful teachers, TA’s and other school staff who have made such a positive impact on our children’s lives and created so many good memories that they will always remember!
