"A bit of a mixed bag"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at King Edward VI Northfield School for Girls so far. My daughter's been enjoying the curriculum, particularly the art classes, but I've had some concerns about communication with the teachers. The facilities are great, and the staff seem friendly, but I've not felt as involved as I would like. We're hoping things will improve as we settle in.

"Wonderful experience at KEVI Northfield"

I'm so grateful to have my daughter at King Edward VI Northfield School for Girls. The staff are kind, supportive and truly care about the girls' well-being. My daughter has flourished in the school, particularly in the library club - she's made some amazing friends and has been inspired to read more. We're so proud of her progress and can't thank the school enough!
