I'm considering sending DC to Hill House international in a couple of years time at 7+ and I was wondering if anyone could confirm / refute / give me more information on a number of negative opinions I have read on MN:
- The school does not give much 'value added'.
- The school is not good for 'sensitive types'.
- Pupils also receive a lot of tutoring, both external and privately from tutors.
- Some of the older teachers are old fashioned with a slightly 'children should be seen and not heard' attitude.
- Quality of teaching very variable depending on which teachers you get.
- The school does not give much feedback and discourages parental involvement.
- Provision for outdoor play and sports is poor.
- Pupils spend a long time being mini-bussed to sports / other venues.
Any other views / comments welcome!
