Report
The children are all treated as individuals, known well by their teachers and encouraged to be their best. The range of activities they get to enjoy is vast. The pastoral care is exemplary when needed. Communication between the school and parents is forthcoming to make planning much easier. They offer many opportunities for parents to find out what their children are doing at school, which beats the "fine" response that the children often give when asked how their say was. I would definitely recommend Church School.
