The teachers are very approachable and the school is run with open frequent communication between the parents and teachers. The staff make a real effort to get to know every child and their families and there is a great familial feeling at the school with a real sense of caring and support for each of the children. Our son began boarding for 2 nights aged 9 following \"taster\" nights and he loved it and now has a sleep over with his friends and a cooked breakfast twice a week which we can't compete with at home! There is a variety of extra curricular activities available from archery, golf, tennis to name but a few.
