Further comments

  • We could not be happier!! Amazing school such a happy, creative, caring atmosphere. The teachers are approachable, and as said previously to see Mr Brabant in the morning is just brilliant, always has time to listen, he knows all the children and is a generally brilliant headmaster. The children run into school and come out smiling and talking about their exciting day. The older ones look after the younger ones, they don’t have to be told to do it, it’s just natural. The volunteers Jenny, Mrs Capper again brilliant. Do you think I like this school?
