What The Good Schools Guide says..
Life here is simply buzzing and the Juniors has plenty of reasons to be proud, not least because its pupils love it here. Every parent who contacted us - and there were many - confirmed that their son was having a whale of a time. And the boys - animated, enthusiastic, well-mannered and full of fun - were proof of it. Some parents lamented that homework dominated evenings and weekends and could take their child hours to complete. But all agreed that the homeworks were enjoyable. 'We think a lot about homework and we're pretty sure that we don't overload...'
What the school says...
