All of my children have attended this school over the years. Unfortunately, I found the headmistress to have an attitude problem. She was unapproachable and definitely had her favourites. This was true of teachers and parents. I know a few teachers and teaching assistants who left because of her (if your face fits). There was bullying at the school which Mrs Pilmore wanted absolutely no involvement in! Therefore the bullying continued and this is dangerous and damaging to any child. There are a few good teachers though, caring, approachable and good at their job. I did feel they need more SEN support at the school and agree with the previous review.
I would recommend any parent who has a child starting at this school to speak up if they are dissatisfied in any way because eventually something more will have to be done to get this school to a satisfactory level where ALL students are fully supported, so that they can achieve their potential.
Terrible experience.
The school only focuses and cares about children who are academic, leaving the ones who need more help behind.
They DO NOT cater for special needs whatever they may state on the website, little help is offered and any request for support for your child falls on deaf ears.
Too busy spending money on insignificant things and not focusing enough on the vulnerable children.
Overall I would not suggest sending your child here, it’s an extremely Academic, snooty school that clearly doesn’t want children with any kind of needs.
It’s also heavily subscribed and it is a big school, which is absolutely fine if your child is academic but if not avoid.
No support at all.
