Just wondering if anyone had any recent experience of the school. Just got an offer for DS and its obviously a big decision.

My son is there. Lovely school. The head is amazing and that style of letter reflects his style overall. Thoughtful and involved. It's a small and nurturing school. Some elements quite traditional but they also have a lot of fun. Lots of opportunities for the boys to get involved in all sorts of things.

I thought so too. Definitely not a cut and paste job. Made me feel like they really wanted DS and he would be truly valued there.

Yes. The headmaster seems like a very nice man. Also I know they were only ever going to write positive things in a letter offering your child a place but it was pretty accurate in terms of the points he picked up on.

Congratulations! Jumping on as received an offer too. Absolutely blown away by the level of personal detail in the letter. An absolute joy to receive 😊
