"Outstanding school with kind staff and great facilities"

My daughter has been at Crescent School for 2 years now, and we couldn't be happier. The teachers are kind, caring and really know each child well. The facilities are excellent, and my daughter loves attending the extra-curricular clubs, especially the music lessons. Highly recommend this school!

"A good school, but some areas for improvement"

My son attended Crescent School for 3 years before moving to a different part of the country. While we were happy with the school in many ways, there were some areas that didn't quite meet our expectations. The school's commitment to pastoral care was excellent, but we felt that the curriculum could have been more engaging at times. Overall, we were satisfied with our experience, but would have liked to see some changes.
