Hi, it would be good to pick brains of parents that have / had children at Milbourne Lodge School in Esher, Surrey. We are thinking about moving to the local area and have a 5 yo starting in year 1 in September. He’s quite a shy and reserved boy but loves engaging with friends when he knows them well. Would love some thoughts on:
- What do you like about Milbourne Lodge?
- What don’t you like about Milbourne Lodge?
- Is it easy for pre-prep children to make friends?
- What is their pastoral care like (if any)?
- Some old threads have said it’s quite “quirky” - can anyone expand on what that may mean or give examples?
Our son is currently at Hornsby House, SW12 and LOVES it there - their pastoral care is excellent. We want to move further out and we liked the virtual Open Day given by Milbourne Lodge, but without seeing it or seeing how the teachers or children interact, it’s hard to get a feel for what it’s really like.
Any thoughts - please do let me know.
Thanks so much!
