Our child is in the Ash Class and is doing well. We like the focus on developing the core skills of reading, writing and mathematics. *(Jun 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed feelings: My child is in the Beech Class and is enjoying some aspects of school, but I'm not entirely happy with the level of homework.
