"Lovely school with a personal touch"

We moved to the area last year and my daughter started at Therfield. The small class sizes and emphasis on individualised learning have been a game changer. Her teacher, Miss Haxton, is fantastic and we love the regular updates on her progress. We also appreciate the commitment to mindfulness and forest school - she comes home full of stories every week!

"Nice try, but some teething issues"

My son is still settling in at Therfield, but we're enjoying the welcoming atmosphere and enthusiasm of the staff. However, communication could be improved - it's been a bit hit-and-miss with updates from the teachers. We also felt that the PE lessons were a bit disorganised at times. Let's give them a chance, though - we know they're trying their best!

"Exceptional education and community"

My son graduated from Therfield a few years ago and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I ever made as a parent. The school's values of kindness, respect and curiosity truly shine through in every aspect of their teaching and approach. We loved the regular newsletters, the open-door policy with teachers and the many opportunities for parent involvement.
