Report
Such a lovely school!! Our daughter loves it here, and the attention she gets from being in a small school has meant her development has come on so quickly compared to others we know of the same age. The staff are really friendly and welcoming, the facilities are excellent, there's nothing not to like about Crawford Primary!
