"Wonderful School with Amazing Staff"

We've been at Prae Wood for 5 years now and I'm so impressed with the school's values and the way they apply them in practice. The Bike Bus initiative is a great example of this - it's fantastic to see the kids being encouraged to be active and healthy while having fun.

"Mixed Feelings about Prae Wood"

We were at Prae Wood for 3 years and while we appreciated the school's focus on mental health and wellbeing, we sometimes felt that the curriculum was a bit too focused on academic achievement. That being said, the teachers were generally supportive and the facilities were excellent.
