What The Good Schools Guide says..
The ethos, which aims to be the same as its two sister schools, is all about increasing self-esteem, encouraging children to be confident to ask questions and make mistakes without feeling intimidated – all with the overall aim of enabling them to flourish, not just as learners, but people. ‘This is a school that’s all about celebrating attitude and effort, not just what is actually achieved,’ raved one parent.

A very visible presence throughout the school, he teaches English and reasoning to year 6 and is often in and out of the classrooms. Enthusiastic yet calm, he gets down to the kids’ level when talking to them. ‘Unlike many heads in the private sector, he praises the children directly rather than turning his back on them to tell the parent,’ one parent...
