reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"7 years ago","rating":5,"text":{"text":"This is a great school. The dedication and enthusiasm of the Bolingbroke teachers is especially striking when you meet them and spend time at the school and this sets the school apart from others. The focused leadership, sense of purpose and high aspirations for all children is inspirational. In turn this creates in the children impressive levels of engagement. My daughter has had a very happy first year at Bolingbroke with the high standards expected in all aspects of school life setting exactly the right tone for learning and for the very good academic standards she has attained. She has developed great interest in new subjects (languages, science, geography etc) and had some superb opportunities to extend her learning both through classroom activities and extra-curricular. Discipline standards are sensible, consistent and clearly understood by the students - and they work, as behaviour of pupils is excellent. The school should be very proud of its achievements to date in building a community and an ethos which will benefit hundreds of Wandsworth children as they work towards University and employment.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"This is a great school.
