"I wanted to call you to let you know how wonderful your pupils are.

Their manners were impeccable and they were so happy and taking such pleasure in their learning..."
"I just wanted to email and share with you something that our child told me last night that filled me with complete joy. I can’t even remember what we were talking about but she suddenly came out with “I love school so much, it feels like home. Except, we have assemblies at school and not at home!”
We have always said that we want her to enjoy school as much as we both did and it makes me so happy that she does. The fact that she feels safe and happy means everything to us. So, thank you. Thank you for everything you do. We really appreciate it."
"This is one of the friendliest schools I've visited. Every single member of staff has said hello and you've allowed us to share in your staff room space..." Bikeability team member

"Today is a sad day for myself and my husband as our last grandhild leaves this school. Over ten years we have been privileged to attend many of the children's events and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Watching the faces of the children taking part in everything, they all look so happy and interested in it all and their singing is so beautiful. To me, being brought up in London, this school is like one big happy family, so thank you so much for your kindness and help over the years".
