Great Berry Primary School

It's a two-form entry primary that has been part of this community since 1988, and it has been rated Good by Ofsted, with Outstanding judgements for behaviour and personal development. Admissions are managed by Essex County Council, so check the current criteria for your address before you commit to a move.
