"Some positives, but concerns about teacher consistency"

We've been pleased with the progress our child has made at Applemore, and the school's focus on values like Believe and Respect is something we value. However, we've noticed that some teachers are more approachable than others, and we've had to chase up progress reports on a few occasions. Overall, we're happy with the school, but would like to see more consistency in the teaching staff.

"Wonderful school - great support for my child's progress"

My child has been at Applemore for 3 years and has grown in confidence and ability. The teachers are always available to discuss progress and the school's values of Believe, Respect and Determination really shine through in the way the students behave. We've also been impressed with the range of extracurricular activities on offer, including the weekly table tennis club my child loves.

"Exceptional care for our child - we'll always be grateful"

We moved our child to Applemore from a previous school and have seen a huge improvement in their happiness and academic progress. The staff were always approachable and supportive, and the school's commitment to extra-curricular activities like the annual production was a highlight of our child's time there.
