Our Lady Queen of Heaven is a truly exceptional school. If you could look for one word to describe the way the school looks after each child, it would be nurture. Every single child is nurtured, loved and supported to help them achieve their full potential. Every teacher and assistant teacher from nursery onwards are constantly working with the parents to support the children, to guide them, to help them develop, to help them achieve their targets and to ensure that they are happy, that they enjoy going to school. Academic and social skills are developed; worried parents are listened to and supported. Children, who need extra support, get the help they need. I have seen my own child blossomed under the care of his teachers, from a very shy boy to a confident boy with a caring nature. My little boy also has a peanut allergy, and the school has always been very supportive, integrative and ensure that he enjoys school meals without feeling different. As a parent of a child with allergies, it is very important to feel that my child is safe at school, and I know that he is. We have a great range of after school activities to help keep the kids active and to introduce them to different activities. We have breakfast clubs and after school clubs to provide child care for working parents, at low prices. The clubs are run by fun teachers whom the kids absolutely love. We have been blessed to have Mrs Pitcher, as our head teacher. She guides the teachers and parents to help each child achieve their full potential. She is busy but she always makes time to receive the children when they arrive at school in the mornings. She knows all the children in the school by their first names, knows their personalities, how to engage with them, how to bring out their best. She is also always there to listen to the parents and help them, far beyond her role. The school feels like a community, parents and teachers together under the guidance of Mrs Pitcher, working together to make school life a truly enjoyable and nurturing experience for the children.

Overall good school and most of staff are friendly, the head teacher does a good job with the children, however she suffers from a severe high and low moods and is not very approachable sometimes, if you have to make a complaint or make a point about something, she can be very unpredictable, by being nice or very straight forward in a rather unpleasant way. Dont expect caring or understanding costumer service from her, she will deal with the problem but 100% her way and not yours, I never heard of any incident apart of the day she corrected a pupil holding the cutlery on the dining table by saying: you are not in Poland anymore, this kind of thing happens but never gets reported as the family fear backlash from school, another practice I have seen myself is that some kids get told off in front of others kids and parents, but apparently its normal.
