## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — AVOID AT ALL COSTS-OVER PRICED-VILE MANAGERS-BULLYING ALLOWED: Please think long and hard about investing in any way at this school as I don't think it will last much longer than 2 more years and could close with no notice to parents or staff. Already the head teacher has Quit right in the middle of his flailing campaign to raise £2.5 for a sports hall that he keeps changing his mind about - embarrassing to all who are involved and god help the investors so far. He has taken a great school and ruined it in his 11 years there and is now running away, leaving… *(Oct 2023)*
- **1/5** — Avoid.: Any child (or indeed family) who doesn't fit the school's narrow, outdated profile is not welcome in the school.

- **5/5** — Great School: Impressed by the School both academically and pastorally. Children thrive and very much worth the investment. I don't recognise the negative reviews as School very caring and supportive *(Mar 2023)*
- **5/5** — great school: absolutely great school, children are given amazing opportunities, extra help is always there and teachers are always willing to lend a hand. *(Jan 2023)*
- **1/5** — Avoid: Terrible school. If you want to pay through the nose for the children of staff to get all the opportunities before your kids, then this is the place for you. Bullying by rich families is ignored. No wonder they’re desperate for students number to rise. *(Dec 2022)*
- **1/5** — Awful: Absolutely awful school, head teacher kicked students out for mental health reasons. Not Christian at all ! *(Jan 2021)*
