Fantastic school, my two children couldn't be happier. The opportunities available here for children are amazing with forest school, residentials, community summer bbqs, brilliant PTFA events like discos, cinema nights, the list is endless! The school has grown from strength to strength in the last few years under the headteacher, who has done an amazing job. Couldn't recommend Landywood enough.
