## Recent parent reviews

- **2/5** — Poor impression from adults’ poor manners and student input: I interviewed for a position in the school a while ago, so I had the chance to interact with both staff and a diverse sample of students there. It is hard to pass a solid judgement on management and quality of teaching after a brief insight, but.. The basic manners of the leadership were not the best of models, but quite the opposite. Each student that I spoke to seemed miserable to be there. They did not know who to turn to in the case of a crisis, made comments on how they did not trust their … *(Jan 2025)*
- **1/5** — yuck!: Managed a whole year here before moving schools as the girls were vile, the teachers nasty and overall horrible experience. Never met anyone that actually enjoyed there time here and I know of a girl who’s genuinely been diagnosed with PTSD after leaving *(Nov 2021)*
- **5/5** — Amazing experience: Love my school, teachers are lovely and always prepared to put in extra effort. Student's mental health support is improving, and overall I couldn't think of a better school to be at. *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — Good school!! really enjoy: very good school, good teaching can be a little mean however that depends on you experience and what friends you have. On the whole really enjoy it however exam pressures and mental health can become a problem, however i'm afraid that is the nature of a all girls grammar school *(May 2021)*
- **2/5** — You will leave a different person: Care more about grades than mental health *(Dec 2020)*
- **1/5** — Worst experience: Absolutely awful and overrated The girls there are horrible and the school itself caused a drastic decline in my mental health. Do not go there despite what people say it was my biggest mistake. *(Aug 2020)*
