It's a lovely community with so many opportunities for parents to socialise and feel included. We are given so much support. The pastoral team and special needs side is amazing and really know their stuff, the matron is also highly knowledgeable. Healthy food in the canteen. Sensationally led by Miss Mountfield who truly cares about each and every student. So much detail goes into every little thing they all do. The students are not deprived of opportunities at all! My child has never been shown this level of respect and love from any of the schools he's been to before. The performances are of the very highest standard so if you get an opportunity to watch one, do it. When my son tells me everyday what he's learned in school I always say WOW for all subjects. They are not taught to pass exams but to know their subjects inside out, taught in such engaging ways while developing team working and leadership skills. He knows he's living the best time of his life, getting a place here is like winning the lottery. You don't need to worry about how your kids will turn out here. My only criticism is not to use Direct Clothing Company for uniform, get it elsewhere as they are scammers.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Incredible.

The students are nurtured, appreciated and encouraged to explore and develop their own identities. I've seen my \"free school meals\" son truly blossom under the care of such wonderful and talented role models, even in subjects I thought he would never grasp. It's a lovely community with so many opportunities for parents to socialise and feel included. We are given so much support. The pastoral team and special needs side is amazing and really know their stuff, the matron is also highly knowledgeable. Healthy food in the canteen. Sensationally led by Miss Mountfield who truly cares about each and every student. So much detail goes into every little thing they all do. The students are not deprived of opportunities at all! My child has never been shown this level of respect and love from any of the schools he's been to before. The performances are of the very highest standard so if you get an opportunity to watch one, do it. When my son tells me everyday what he's learned in school I always say WOW for all subjects. They are not taught to pass exams but to know their subjects inside out, taught in such engaging ways while developing team working and leadership skills. He knows he's living the best time of his life, getting a place here is like winning the lottery. You don't need to worry about how your kids will turn out here. My only criticism is not to use Direct Clothing Company for uniform, get it elsewhere as they are scammers.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"Incredible.
