Kilnwood Vale Primary School

The facilities are very impressive. A new building and a large amount of outdoor space. It would be nice to see the outdoor space developed as the school grows as there is a lot of grass. My son enjoys going to the school and has had 3 very good years there. There have been one or two times that I have needed to speak to teachers but they have dealt with stuff well. No school is perfect but we feel lucky that we got a place at this school.

It's interesting when you look at all the surrounding schools reviews, everything is low, because people just come me here to complain. To counteract the negative, here's my positive review. Kilnwood is a great school with excellent teachers. They work hard to connect with the children and get the best out of them. Things do happen of course, it's a school with children, but these things are quickly resolved and never ignored. The school is a lovely environment with a great future ahead. My child is very happy there and I am very pleased that we chose this school.

If I could give this school a zero, I would. We've been here from the start. The school looks nice but staff and head teacher are completely clueless and incompetent. Children are being ignored and they don't seem to care about pushing children to their full potential. Kids who are high achievers are constantly being held back. There seem to be a lot of bullying going on at this school too, especially from the older kids, and nothing gets done about it either. Very disappointed with this school.

We love KV primary, please do not be put off by the old reviews things have changed and the new head and assistants have been wonderful. Reception teachers brilliant, go above and beyond. We were told about an incident honestly and immediately and it was dealt with quickly and appropriately. I have no concerns about bullying as it was nipped in the bud so quickly

My child has been bullied at school for months and nothing has been done. When it finally stood up to the bully it was twisted around and my child was made by her class teacher to apologise to bully for telling the honest truth. We have reported that to headteacher who must have had a chat with class teacher as after that my child was bullied by her. We very quickly changed the school and the teacher did not even say goodbye and good luck to my child on last day. During our time there we also heard about other children being bullied but nothing was reported to parents. Looks like anything that happens at school stays at school, is not being reported to parents and just kept under cover so no bad word would come about what is really going on inside. I will never understand how you can be mean to children for telling the truth and fighting for themselves especially if you are a teacher and you are suppose be the example. Would never in my life put any child through what we have experienced.
