Bidston Avenue Primary School Reviews
5 (2 reviews)
A brilliant school. From staff to the opportunities that the children get. Music, sports, phonics, reading and even own librarian.
Two of our girls have attended this school. Great teachers throughout. The school really focuses on reading, critical thinking and resilience. Great after school clubs and a push for all children to find ‘their thing’ , especially with PE & Sport. Amazing and life changing experiences are provided including local residential trips, London and China! Just amazing. Older child now in secondary school and she couldn’t have had a better foundation to her life! Completely...
