Selborne Primary School

My children feel very safe and happy in this 'Outstanding' School. I feel that the Teachers are incredibly supportive and encourage the children to achieve their best. They also install respect and confidence in the children, which assists them in their future endeavours. I am very proud to have Selborne as our local multi cultural school.

I love this 'Ofsted Outstanding' School for my children, I wouldn't dream of sending them anywhere else. The Head Teacher, Mrs Shilling, and her amazing team are doing an incredible job. The teachers are very approachable and the children feel extremely safe in their school environment. The behind the scenes staff are wonderful and so supportive towards the staff and parents.

Excellent school, both academically and socially. The dedication and commitment of the staff is evident in the recent Outstanding assessment of the school and in the high achievement of the children. The Head and her supportive senior management team are both approachable and responsive to parental views. I thoroughly recommend this primary school to any parent who wishes their child to be given a good foundation for a moral, respectful and academic start in life.

Selborne is a wonderful school. Both my children absolutely love going to school each day. The teachers are fantastic and supportive. The range of clubs offered are impressive and provide for a great learning experience.

Selborne is a wonderful school. The teachers are committed to helping each child achieve their potential and I have found that my children have felt safe, cared about and very proud to be a part of the Selborne 'community'. I'm really grateful for all the hard work of the teachers and staff.

The teaching staff are amazing and deserve a million stars. However the management is a joke. They have a way of thinking that is as they have been granted outstanding they don't need to improve. The outdoor play equipment is not suitable for the age groups and the school mixes very little children with much older children. My daughter came home almost daily with accident forms caused by playing with children too big and when I took this up with the head I was called paranoid. My daughter told me on numerous occasions that older boys had hit her not what had been written on the forms. The school have got the accident forms wrong on numerous occasions. Also this schools business manager needs to attend a course on customer service. If the school ever need anything they are so hot on emails texts calls ETC but it is difficult to get a straight answer from them on anything. The school list over 100 pounds worth of jumpers in one term and do not have any other option than to buy them from one supplier. (No sew on badges for generic jumpers) and everything even shirts have to have the school logo. This school does not think about the surrounding families and costs involved with this closed type of uniform. As I said the teachers here in reception are great. But I am glad my child no longer attends this school due to the management.

The school were very helpful in supporting my sons transition to a special needs school to support his ASD/ADHD needs. They worked with us to support him whilst attending Selborne (giving him access to resources such as on line maths tutors as this was a topic he excelled at). It became apparent he needed more support in a smaller specialist school setting and we were fully supported as a family in making the right decision for our son. The teachers are dedicated to helping children achieve their best academically and my daughter who still attends the school is well supported with extra tuition provided by the teachers after school at no cost to parents. Expectations and aspirations are high and the communication and support from the school has always been excellent. The headteacher and teachers are approachable and swiftly resolve any concerns. Always looking to improve their offering, the extra curricular activities are the best I have seen (direct experience of 7 schools with all my children, and working closely with a variety of London primary schools in a voluntary capacity). The sports offering is a particular strength and the children are given access to free coaching from local professional sports teams, along with free tickets for the family to enjoy spectating events such as London Broncos. I would not hesitate to recommend this school to local parents. It is a caring, nurturing and safe environment.

The selborne was excellent in inserting my daughter to support her, because we moved to London from Italy for almost a year, my daughter could not read write and do math. In a year she has done so much and improved so much, she loves going to school and loves teachers because they were very wonderful and she is recovering everything with serenity and enthusiasm. Thanks for everything Their work is really great. :)
