My daughter started reception in September. I am pleased to say she settled in straight away and seems very happy. The Headteacher has a wonderful way with all the children and parents. He is always approachable and enthusiastic, showing such pride in the love he has for his job. He creates such a fun and welcoming environment within the school, getting to know all the children personally and showing a genuine interest in their development and he makes sure they are recognized for any special achievements. The Teachers and staff all seem so encouraging, caring and kind. I have no doubt my daughter will be looked after and cared for everyday by all the lovely people there. The school itself is impressive to, such a beautiful large garden and playing field for the children to enjoy, a swimming pool, numerous clubs and activities offered. The school is really well looked after and the classrooms are all bright and interesting to look around. Parents are always kept up to date through the school website/texts/letters etc and encouraged to give feedback, suggestions and ideas. To all the staff at Earls Hall, keep up the hard work it is greatly appreciated! Lisa Virgo

My daughter has just left earls hall and I am so glad she got to start her education at such a supportive school who care about each and every pupil. She has had many great opportunities there, they offer lots of extra curricular activities and clubs and are always encouraging the students to try their hand at different things, which I think taught my daughter a lot and set up her to take the challenge of senior school in her stride. The headteacher makes the school what it is and it really shows how much he loves earls hall, something which reflects on the staff and students. I have a son still there in year 2 and I'm looking forward to his journey through the school as he has already made such good progress with the help of the great teaching and support team there. They also have a breakfast and after school club from 7.30am-6pm which makes it convenient for working/studying parents. Thanks to earls hall my children have had the best start to their education and their lives, it was the best choice I could have made for them.

My son finished his journey at Earls Hall Primary in July. He thoroughly enjoyed his years there from Reception right through to year 6 and was totally engaged in all the curriculum. Communication between the school and parents has always been excellent and plenty of opportunities over the years for us to go in and see what goes on within the school environment. There was a great range of after school activities available for all year groups and plenty of school trips throughout the year. There is a real sense of a school community at Earls hall with a fantastic PTA who are constantly fund raising. All in all I would recommend Earls Hall to anyone who asked as i feel my children have had the best education possible by attending this school.

With 2 left and 1 remaining at earls hall, my daughters have all over acheived and enjoyed their days here. Teachers are great. Forest friends in ks1 they enjoyed. Swimming pool on site. Great 5* catering. Lots of after/before school clubs. Earls hall are also currently the holders of many sports titles in the area and borough and a couple nationally too.

A fabulous school that caters for all abilities. My son loved every minute he spent at the school and still talks fondly of the teachers and friends he made. A great combination of academic and sports focus that inspires all children. A varied timetable of before and after school clubs that help the working families as well as lunchtime clubs that the children can get involved in. My fussy eater even tried the curry and refused my packed lunches as he would only eat the hot dinners. The school welcomes feedback and in my view has improved greatly since Mr Badcock and his fresh and inspiring team of teachers lead the school.
