"A brilliant school with outstanding leaders"

I recently moved my child to another school, but I still have to say that my experience at Rivendell was fantastic. The leadership team is outstanding and really cares about the children. The school's focus on the RISE values is also wonderful to see in action.

"Some mixed feelings"

We've been at Rivendell for a term now and while we like the school, we do have some mixed feelings. The staff are all friendly and the facilities are great, but we've had a few issues with communication and organisation. We're hoping things will improve in the new year.

"Amazing facilities and great teaching"

My child has been at Rivendell for a few years now and we've been really impressed with the facilities and the teaching. The forest school and sports facilities are fantastic and my child has really enjoyed the after-school clubs. The teachers are all so supportive and enthusiastic too.

"A truly wonderful school!"

My child has been attending Rivendell for a year now and I can honestly say it's been an absolute pleasure. The staff are all so supportive and caring, and the values they instil in the children are truly impressive. The facilities are also excellent and my child loves going to the forest school.
