"Excellent all-round education"

My child moved on to secondary school last year but I still keep in touch with the school. The education they received at Braithwaite was first-class and I'm so grateful for the opportunities they provided. From the caring and supportive staff to the fantastic facilities, it's a truly special place.

"Amazing School Experience!"

We've been at Braithwaite for 3 years now and we absolutely love it. The values of kindness, respect and empathy are instilled in the children from a young age and it's wonderful to see. My child is thriving in Year 3 and I couldn't be happier with the progress they're making. The weekly Forest School sessions are a highlight for them too!

"Wonderful nursery and supportive staff"

My child started in the nursery at Braithwaite and has just moved up to Year 1. The nursery team were incredible - so caring and responsive. The transition to the main school has been smooth and the teachers have been very supportive. I do wish they offered more extracurricular activities, but overall it's a great school.
