My child had a great start to education at this school. Loved the teachers and the people. My child has such great attitude to learning, thanks to the nurturing atmosphere experienced in early years.

My child has had numerous occasions were bullying has been a problem. The head teacher Jack is not approachable; unless you are middle to high class he is not interested in anything that you have to say. On many occasions i have been responded to in a dismissive manner and ignored in favour of one of the celebrity mum's or parent governors. Jack has dismissed my concerns as a parent and is more interested in league tables and ofstead reports than his pupils or their welfare. Some teachers are also intent on making some children feel bad about themselves. This is a school to avoid if I had to choose a primary school again it would not be this one. Before you consider this school for your child please endeavor to speak to a variety of parents of children at the school to give yourself a full picture of what you are letting yourself and indeed your child in for.

School has a major bullying problem. I witnessed 2 girls who are in year 6 kicking and verbally abusing another child from the school, the words they were using were absolutely vulgar and I wouldnt even expect those words to be used by adults! I wrote an email to the school over 3 months ago now and didnt even receive a reply. They do not seem to care about the bullying that goes on, its almost like because the kids are in year 6 they wont deal with it because they know theyll be leaving to go on to secondary school, in my opinion it SHOULD be dealt with as you are setting the foundations for these kids to not do that later on in life! I have heard many of the mums complaining about the same particular child and have been for a number of years now but it seems they reward this child for bad behaviour... Ive also witnessed the mother on several occasions screaming and shouting at other parents and using vile language which is disgusting, and claiming its her daughter who is being bullied and shes been claiming that since the kid started! Shes an older woman too and has absolutely no class about her so its no wonder her daughter is the same. I agree with the other reviews regarding bullying, something more needs to be done as there is no policy against this sort of disgusting behaviour! I suggest never sending your children to this school, if you are a parent at this school then I suggest you tell the head teacher to take a look at these reviews as they are not for nothing!
