"Aylestone is a hidden gem!"

We're so happy with Aylestone School! The smaller class sizes and caring staff have made a huge difference for our daughter. We love the focus on mutual respect and the variety of extracurricular activities on offer. She's really thrived here.

"Mixed feelings about Aylestone"

We're still trying to figure out if Aylestone is the right fit for our son. On the one hand, we love the emphasis on mutual respect and the variety of subjects on offer. On the other hand, we've had some issues with communication from the school and the homework load can be overwhelming at times. We'll continue to monitor the situation and see how things go.
