I am glad I paid no attention and took the time like any sensible parent, to visit the school and take along my daughter so we could both assess the schools suitability. It is clear someone or some rival has an axe to grind and is maliciously posting 1 star reviews, some with no comments. I would recommend parents do their own due diligence and visit the school before they sing its praises or criticise. My personal experience is this is a fine school and staffed with excellent teaching staff and importantly, well behaved and raised children.","languageCode":"en"}},{"publishTime":"2020-12-01T11:30:42Z","relativePublishTimeDescription":"2 years ago","author":"steve chery","authorUri":"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/contrib\/103765078740532684798\/reviews","authorPhotoUri":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/AAcHTtcHh0XEyA-Slc9nhdqTjhkqixY4q09p67ogdxT_pDxM=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo","rating":5,"text":{"text":"My Daughter joined in Year 7, She really likes going to this school.
