"Some ups and downs"

We've had a good experience at High Oakham, but there have been some issues with communication and organisation at times. The teachers are generally good, but we've had some struggles with our child's particular needs. Overall, it's been a decent experience, but there's definitely room for improvement.

"Wonderful school experience"

We've been at High Oakham for two years now and have had an amazing experience. The staff are always friendly and approachable, and the facilities are excellent. Our child has thrived in the nursery and reception class, and we feel lucky to have chosen this school.

"Great values-based education"

High Oakham's focus on values such as 'be true to yourself' really resonates with us as parents. The teachers are great at encouraging our child to develop these values and we feel confident that they are getting a well-rounded education. The nursery staff are also fantastic and have helped our child settle in so well.

"Excellent foundation for our child"

We moved to a different area and our child was due to start at High Oakham in reception, but unfortunately we couldn't stay. However, we were so impressed with the school that we wish we could have continued. The early years team were fantastic and our child loved their time in the nursery and reception class.
