"Excellent School Experience"

My daughter has been at Laurus Cheadle Hulme for 2 years now and I'm so impressed with the facilities, staff and values. The Cornerstones program has really helped her develop a sense of leadership and service, and her grades have improved significantly.

"Overall very positive"

My son loves going to Laurus Cheadle Hulme and I'm really pleased with the way the school has supported him in his first year. The teachers are always available and the facilities are modern and well-equipped. One thing that could be improved is communication with parents, but overall I'm very happy with the school.

"Mixed feelings"

My daughter attended Laurus Cheadle Hulme for 3 years before moving to another school. While she did enjoy her time there and the facilities were great, I felt that the school could have been more supportive with her GCSE preparations. The Cornerstones program was also a bit hit-and-miss for her. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I wouldn't rave about it.
