We particularly love the emphasis on enjoyment and excellence, which is reflected in the school's values. I have seen my child grow in confidence and make many new friends.

"Mixed Feelings About EPJS"

My child is currently in Year 4 at EPJS, and while we have had some positive experiences, there are also some areas for improvement. The teachers are generally good, but some can be a bit disorganized and slow to respond to emails. The facilities are excellent, and the school's focus on enjoyment and excellence is great. However, I do feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep them informed about what is happening.

"A Great Foundation for Future Success"

My daughter attended EPJS for three years, and I was consistently impressed with the quality of education and care she received. The school's emphasis on small class sizes and personalized learning really paid off, as she made excellent progress and developed a love of learning. I also appreciated the strong pastoral support and the many extracurricular activities available.
