"Some Disappointment with STEM Program"

While we've generally been happy with Ongar Place School, we were a bit disappointed with the STEM program. Our daughter didn't feel challenged enough and the resources were limited. However, the staff are always willing to listen and improve.

"Excellent Communication from Teachers"

The teachers at Ongar Place School have been fantastic with keeping us informed about our son's progress. The uniform policy is also very reasonable and the sports facilities are great for the kids.

"A Well-Run School"

We moved away from the area, but our kids loved their time at Ongar Place School. The governors seem to make the right decisions for the school and the breakfast club was always helpful.

"A Happy School Experience"

We've been really happy with Ongar Place School. Our daughter loves the after-school club and the staff are always helpful with any questions or concerns. The annual carol concert was a highlight of the year!
