We're looking at this school for our DD. It looks great, head seems to be on a mission. Wondering if there is anyone out there with a child currently at the school that can share their experiences. DD is dyslexic so also interested to hear about how they support kids.
Thanks!

I know lots of people with kids at RPA, and dd is down for it (along with having applied to Kew House, they were her two favourite schools out of a long list!).

I can't tell you much about dyslexia provision, but I can tell you that all the parents of girls there I know of are very happy with it - as are their daughters. Slightly more mixed feedback for boys, depending on friendship groups, but girls seem fine.

I liked it a lot last time I looked round (been keeping an eye over the years) and all the kids I spoke to there were keen, engaged and articulate.

Thanks Elibean. That was my impression too. We're looking at private as well. It's a difficult decision.
