It generates quite a bit of negative views on MN but we've got friends with children there and they too are very happy and doing well. it has a relatively new head and I suspect the negative comments about drugs, hair died green, and multiple piercings are out of date as I believe she's tightened up on all of this. Even the no uniform policy on close scrutiny is no longer "you can wear whatever you like" there are quite strict guidelines in fact I wouldn't say it was no uniform I seem to recall in a recent conversion with one of my friends DS's; dark troussers (no jeans) polo shirt and dark jumper not exactly no uniform in my view.

Not personally, but have 2 sets of friends who had DCs there and were very happy with it both academically and pastorally. HTH.
