What do our families think?

We are fortunate to be a part of a very special community in Occold and we often receive lovely messages and emails from parents, carers and friends of the school thanking us for all that we do for the children.

Take a look at what they have to say...

 

"We are extremely grateful to the entire school team: teachers, administration, support staff, and the parent-teacher association. Each and every one of them played a part in [our children's] integration these past three months. Moving was quite an adventure, but choosing Occold made everything so much easier. We found not only a great school but also a wonderful community. We couldn't be happier and are eagerly awaiting September for the start of a new school year at the best school."

"Since starting at Occold [child] has gained confidence, his needs have been met and we have always been apprised of his work. This in itself is a huge achievement and I believe it is down to the dedication of the school in general and all the teachers that go way beyond their role to ensure all pupils fit in as they try to meet their individual needs. Moving [child] has been the best thing we ever did, thank you Occold!"

"Occold Primary School is such a warm, welcoming and caring school. The kindness, dedication and genuine care shown by every member of staff have made a real difference to our family. I honestly cannot thank you all enough for everything you have done over the past year. We will always be grateful for the love, patience and support you have shown our children during such an important chapter of their lives."

"We couldn’t be prouder of the effort our girls have put in to this past year, and although they have worked hard in their own right, it just would not have been possible without the support and care shown by each staff member at Occold Primary. We feel very privileged that our girls are part of not just a school, but a family and a local community that care very deeply about the children they help grow. Whilst the academic side is crucial to their development, feeling safe and being happy, well-rounded individuals carries equal weight, and this is certainly an aspect of Occold Primary that shines through every day. A huge thank you to all the staff that help make our girls feel this way, it means a great deal to us, but more importantly, to them. They both care very much for all the staff."
