Chloe has fallen in love with your school. Walking around, she was beaming from ear to ear, and said she felt so happy and couldn't wait to start. As a family we felt the ethos was exactly what Chloe needs: a true community feel, which is so important to us.We have friends who have children at the school and are so happy there, so we were positive before we even went on the tour. All the teachers and students we met were lovely. Chloe is super excited to play football for the school after speaking to the PE teachers, and using the running track in the summer. We feel the smaller classes and more personal approach to learning will allow Chloe to really thrive and continue to love school all the way through her senior school life.
