"Best School Decision Ever!"

We moved to the area last year and I was so worried about finding the right school for our daughter. But from the moment we met the headteacher, Mrs Favell, we knew The Polesworth School was the perfect fit. The facilities are amazing and the values they teach are exactly what we want for our child.

"Great School with a Few Quirks"

My son has been at The Polesworth School for a few years now and overall we're very happy. The school has a great atmosphere and the staff are all very supportive. However, I do think they could improve their communication with parents - sometimes it feels like we're left in the dark about what's going on.

"Excellent Support for My Child"

My son graduated from The Polesworth School a few years ago and I was blown away by the level of support he received. From the Duke of Edinburgh Award to the excellent pastoral care, the school really helped him thrive. We're so grateful for the time he spent there.
