## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Great School, a few minor issues: We've had a generally positive experience at The Cooper School. Our son loves his school and the teachers are all very good. However, we've had some issues with communication and organisation, which we've had to follow up on a few times. *(Nov 2025)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Choice for Our Daughter: We've been incredibly pleased with The Cooper School. The teachers are supportive and enthusiastic, and our daughter has thrived in her first year. The facilities are also excellent, with plenty of opportunities for extracurricular activities. *(Jun 2025)*
- **1/5** — What a Fiasco of a school.: in a school where darkness prevails, halls once full of life, now echo with cries of despair. Teachers, weary and unsupported, struggle against ignorance and a heedless administration. Classrooms, more prisons than sanctuaries, stifle young minds, crushing dreams and potential. The head, a knave, ignores the crumbling foundation while students, like soldiers without cause, see their spirits broken.

- **1/5** — this place kinda sucks ngl: The cooper school more like the pooper school! 🤣🤣 *(Jun 2024)*
- **5/5** — Excellent teaching: I cannot recommend Cooper School highly enough. My three children excelled at the school, and will never forget some of the teachers who supported them. The teaching in some subjects is absolutely outstanding. The school has given my children the best start in life. *(Sep 2023)*
- **1/5** — Awful: This school is very ableist and doesn’t care about bullying or racism but they try to hide that by silencing people, especially minoritied groups *(Oct 2022)*
- **1/5** — Really bad: Toilets have no seats or locks *(Apr 2022)*
- **1/5** — My experience: Teachers and staff at this school are terrible I have never met people like this. They make false claims and tramatize the student that go there. Because of one teacher I have cptsd and a fear of teachers in general. They are unhelpful and just don’t like kids in general. I would not recommend sending your kids here if they want a career or a job for that matter because I assure you they will not pass there GCSEs or a levels at that school. *(Sep 2021)*
- **1/5** — Awful school: Teachers are not supportive whatsoever School looks run down and is just bad in general. Not a single lesson is enjoyable and teachers go through no effort to make it so. *(Apr 2021)*
