"Amazing school with a strong sense of community"
I've been thoroughly impressed with the way the school has welcomed us and supported our child's growth. The facilities are lovely, and the values of hope, compassion, and respect are truly embedded in the daily life of the school. My child loves attending the Winter Toddler Group and the Pupil Ethos group has been great for building confidence.

"Excellent education and caring staff"
We decided to send our child to Drake's because of its excellent Ofsted report and the emphasis on church values. The school has lived up to our expectations, with a dedicated and caring staff who go the extra mile to ensure our child feels safe and supported. The annual We the Curious event has been a highlight for us, and our child loves the school's Preschool.

"Mixed feelings about our experience"
We attended Drake's for a few years, but our experience was a bit mixed. On the one hand, the staff were always friendly and welcoming, and the school has a strong sense of community. On the other hand, we felt that the school could do more to engage parents and provide additional support for children with special needs. Our child has gone on to thrive in a different school, so we're grateful for the experience.
