"Mixed Experience So Far"

We are still getting to know John Kyrle High School, but we have some mixed feelings. The school's values and facilities seem great, but our child has struggled a bit with the workload. We are hoping that the school's support will help them get back on track.

"High Expectations and Great Opportunities"

We were happy with the education our child received at John Kyrle High School. The teachers were supportive, and the facilities were good, especially the new music rooms. Our child benefited from the sixth form and went on to pursue their passion in music. We appreciate the school's commitment to providing a well-rounded education.
