"A Great School, but Some Room for Improvement"

My child has been at The Cowplain School for a few years now and we've been generally happy with the experience. The school's approach to mental health and wellbeing is really good, but I do think that the school could do more to support students with SEN. The facilities are also quite good, but could be improved with some updates.

My child attended The Cowplain School a few years ago and I was really impressed with the school's warm and welcoming atmosphere. The teachers were always available to answer questions and the pastoral support was excellent. I was also pleased to see how the school encouraged students to take part in extracurricular activities.
