Hi, I'm thinking of this school for my six year old son. Can I ask for opinions please?

I don't have any children at The Roche but my friend does and she is very pleased with it. Her son has dispraxia and attention issues and so the small nurturing environment has worked really well for him. It is one of the few private schools to welcome children with SEN. If you're looking for a school to get your child into one of the top independent secondaries The Roche isn't it. However, if you're looking for a nurturing school then The Roche could be the one for you.

I know two children who were at the roche the whole way through, both have got into very good independent secondaries and both were massively nurtured throughout their education. One is very bright, the other has severe dyslexia. One down side is number of boys/lack of sport for some parents I think but perhaps it's more than made up for it by the special atmosphere. I'm sure they will have some parents names you could talk to.
