Wakefield Independent School

Not a very good school as many of the teachers are so rude!!! I sent my son here for a year and all he said to me is how the grandchildren are favourited.Some of the teachers are nice but they them self look like they want to leave.AVOID AT ALL COST!!!

I wish there was an option for zero stars. The school is run by the headmistress and her toy boy who seem to think the place exists to benefit her own grandchildren. Special treatment for some and if you are not in total agreement with everything they do forget about any recognition for your child. If you want to completely waste your money be warned, teaching standards are poor, they learn parrot fashion from printed sheets…. One piece of advice, if you want any sort of recognition for your child try flattering Caryl and her lapdog Assanowicz and you will be favourited. Don’t compete or disagree with them or her family and you will be fine. Remember the headmistresses grandchildren are the most important pupils! Her own son has been appointed as governor 🤦‍♀️ - even teaches there sometimes when they are short staffed… no teaching qualifications mind. SO professional….

Child did not enjoy, they don't serve hot meals.
Some lessons are okay, I believe the Humanities are taught well although many others are not. The head teacher seems very out of touch and punishes the students for the wrong things in the wrong way. Please avoid this school

Took 3 year old to start at the school for a ‘taster’ session. Please avoid at all costs especially if your child has SEN needs.
The early years teacher doesn’t understand inclusion and differentiation and simply wants a ‘cookie cutter’ one size fits all style teaching (due to her lack of skills). She ran off to the headteacher to say she ‘feared’ teaching my 3 year old son after meeting him for 5 minutes!!
The headteacher (is dating the deputy) and she referred to SEN children on the tour as ‘ you can’t put a square peg in a round hole’ quite contradictory to what the website claims!! Headteacher got her boyfriend to do her dirty work and phone us to say our child should go elsewhere and come back once trained!
This is very dangerous and archaic mentality !! Avoid, avoid avoid….they do not care about the children only the money. And by the way for any fellow mums of a so called ‘square peg’ I think you’ll agree they are incredible intelligent and some of the greatest thinkers in our world and mine is thriving . Find a school to appreciate your child and with the staff equipped to teach all properly.
