Arbor Prep School (formerly Cherry Trees) Risby, Suffolk

[Anna2309]

Does anyone have any experience of this school, please?

no but have you considered the state primary in Risby? Fwiw, my cousin's two daughters both went there, it is a fantastic school, and the eldest is graduating from Cambrige this week

Used to be a Montessori school, don't know if it still is. Had a very caring, inclusive reputation.

We chose another Prep over it (about 6 years ago) as it only goes up to 11, and the rest of Suffolk is still 3 tier, (so changes at 9 and 13) and I didn't want DS to have to move unnecessarily.

Thanks. I had decided on another Prep school where we know a lot of people but then went to Cherry Trees/Arbor open day and really liked it and couldn't decide what to do! My son has since gone for a trial session at the other Prep and loved it, so we are definitely going there. Won't forget Cherry Trees/Arbor though, the staff were very impressive and I loved the Montessori ethos.

I know I am a little late but for the record I have had one child pass through the school and another one is still there. They both love the school and the ethos is great. We started in the state system but my oldest was too bright for the school, no problem here. They stretched him and gave him other challenges to keep his attention. He passed his entrance exam for a top Cambridge school. I wold recomend the school to anyone. It has just changed hands and is now under the st Nicholas Montessori Organisation.
