"A Home Away from Home"

I couldn't be happier with Peaslake Free School. The teachers are caring, the facilities are top-notch, and the emphasis on community is palpable. Our daughter has thrived in this nurturing environment and can't wait to return each day.

"A Good, But Not Exceptional Experience"

We had a generally positive experience at Peaslake Free School, but felt that the school could do more to provide a more structured approach to learning. The facilities are lovely, and the values of the school align with our own, but we felt that our child wasn't challenged enough in some areas.
