What parents say
4.9 average from 180 reviews
★★★★★Google
Our daughter was shy when she started. Two years on she sings in the choir and leads the science club. The teachers saw something in her we had not.
★★★★★Google
The teachers know every child by name. We always know how our son is doing and what comes next, without having to chase.
★★★★★Google
Small groups, lots of time outdoors and a key person who genuinely loves her job. Our twins run in every morning.
Questions
Questions from parents
When can we visit the school?
Any school day. Book a tour online and a member of staff will show you round while classes are on. We also hold three open days a year.
How do admissions work?
Send an enquiry, visit the school, and your child spends a taster day with their future class. We then confirm a place in writing, usually within a week.
How are fees paid?
Fees are paid each term, by bank transfer or card. Monthly payments and a 10% sibling discount are available.
Is there a school bus?
Yes. Four bus routes cover the town and nearby villages, with a member of staff on every bus.
Do you offer learning support?
Yes. Our learning support team works with students one to one and in small groups, at no extra cost.
