"Outstanding nursery!"

We've been so impressed with the nursery and transition to Reception at The Hermitage Infant School. Our little one has thrived in this caring environment, and the staff have been fantastic with communication and activities. We love the Forest School sessions and the emphasis on values like kindness and responsibility.

"Mixed experience with junior school"

We had a decent experience with The Hermitage Junior School, but there were some issues with communication and consistency. The teachers were generally good, but some subjects felt a bit lacking in depth. Our child did enjoy the extracurricular activities and made some great friends, so that's a plus. Overall, it was an okay experience, but we were hoping for more.
