"A Great School with a Lot to Offer"

We were a bit hesitant at first, but our daughter has settled in really well at Saxon Way. The teachers are knowledgeable and the values of 'Contribute | Flourish | Succeed' really shine through. The school calendar is full of fun events!

"A Good School, but Room for Improvement"

We had a positive experience at Saxon Way, but there were times when we felt Communication with the school could be better. The Head of School, Jennifer Vidler-Ironmonger, did a great job of keeping parents informed. Overall, a good school, but could improve in some areas.
