"Best school in the area!"
We moved to Deal a year ago and were so nervous about finding a school for our child. Sholden School exceeded our expectations from day one. The teachers are kind and engaging, and the facilities are top-notch. We love the emphasis on Christian values and the regular prayer sessions.

"Fantastic school!"
My daughter attended Sholden School from Reception to Year 6, and we couldn't be happier with the education she received. The school's dedication to kindness, courage, peace, love, and forgiveness really made a difference in her character. The staff are friendly and supportive, and the school's community is wonderful.

"Mixed feelings"
We've been at Sholden School for a few months now, and while the teachers are lovely and the facilities are nice, we've had some issues with communication between the school and parents. My child seems to be enjoying the Kidz Zone program, but I wish they offered more extracurricular activities. We're hoping things will improve as we get to know the school better.
