"Great"

This school is very accepting, free of bullying, and the building is very nice and modern, and the teachers are not rude which is awesome. The school day is quite long, but like there is no homework so it's fine.

"Highly recommend going to this school"

It is a school that makes sense. There is no uniform, which means you don't have to spend lots on something that is mandatory and you have a lot more freedom over what you wear. There is also no homework, school is kept in school. There is however longer school days and only a 45 minute lunch break, but don't let that bother you too much since you will probably end up enjoying lessons. The teachers all go by their first name, which shows the mutual respect between students and staff. The building is very modern. There is very good student support. The community is very good and there is no bullying at all.

"Good but room for improvement"

My child is enjoying her time at CIS, but I feel that the school could do more to support students with special educational needs. The facilities are good, but there are sometimes issues with transport and communication. Overall, it's a good school, but I think it needs to work on a few areas.

"Great"

I’ve been to 5 schools and this has been the only school where there has been no bullying. There isn’t a massive outdoor area but year 11+ can leave during the lunch hour. Very modern inside.
