"Some positives, some areas for improvement"

We have had a mixed experience with Tweendykes. On the one hand, our child has really enjoyed the school and the facilities are excellent. However, we have sometimes found communication with the school to be a bit patchy, and we have concerns about the school's handling of certain issues. Overall, we are hopeful that the school will address these issues and continue to improve.

"An amazing school - sad to leave!"

We were so sad to leave Tweendykes when our child moved on to sixth form, but we will always be grateful for the incredible education and care they received. The school's commitment to providing a rich and varied curriculum, as well as the fantastic facilities, made a real difference to our child's life. We couldn't recommend Tweendykes more highly!
