Not only is the academic provision excellent, but the sport, drama and other extra curricular activities that they offer is really well rounded. This has resulted in them both being confident and very happy children, which I think is crucial for the start of their academic career. On top of this, The Mead has a great PTA who organise wonderful events that bring everyone together outside of the classroom, which in turn generates a feeling of community.
