After a long tiring 11+ process we've been offered Kew house school, views from parents from here would be great my daughter has slow processing speed so would like to know if the support is good? Any other positive or negatives would be good to hear thanks a lot

Unfortunately my child joined Kew House School a few years ago and we removed them. The school had some good points but the bullying was on another level. The ex headmaster was lovely but serious issues of bullying were not addressed or properly dealt with. Having friends with kids still there I am aware the bullying continues both within and outside school grounds and cyber bullying is a serious issue. Nothing would compel me to recommend this school and I personally would take any other private school as an alternative. Sadly bullying is endemic here and until that is addressed this school is not a viable option.

Our neighbours kids go there and they love it. They are completely different boys (one is sporty and into science/maths, the other more creative/drama focused). Also, a mother at my current school highly recommends the structure of the school curriculum and the SEN help which her older son receives - he is in year 8. For those who need SEN support, its usually before or after school (doesn't disrupt coursework) and the english and math is done in 6 separate sets based on ability. So, your daughter will be in a group that hopefully is at the right pace for her for english and maths. My son is going to start there in Sept so I have been speaking to a lot of current parents who all say really positive things. Glad your process is successfully done!
