My child has thrived at The Orchard School, the staff are supportive and genuinely care about the children. The facilities are great and the Islamic values are embedded in everything they do. Highly recommend!

"Good Experience"

The Orchard School has been a great choice for my child, the school is clean and the teachers are friendly. The breakfast club is a great service and my child loves it. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the parking issues.

"Mixed Experience"

We moved our child from The Orchard School to a different school due to the long waiting list. While the staff were friendly, we felt the school was a bit too focused on Islamic values and not enough on general academic standards. Our child did well in their time there though.
