My DS has just been offered a Reception place and we need to let them know by Wednesday whether we're accepting it. I know it's got a good reputation but of all the schools I saw, for some reason I found it the hardest to get much of an impression of. The girl who showed me around was very shy and it was a difficult to get much out of her and there were so many parents looking around there wasn't much opportunity to chat with the Head or any staff and I don't know anyone with DC there.
So? any comments from former/current parents about the school would be appreciated. Is your DC happy? Are they being stretched and in a good way? What are the pluses/minuses? I know it's got a reputation for being strong in the arts but how does it do on other non-core subjects like History, Geography, etc.? Also, just practically, what's parking like? I'd have to drive and don't want to spend ages circling especially as I have a younger DD.
