Hi, my son has been at St Andrew's for nearly two years and our experience has only been positive. The grounds are wonderful - large and with a swimming pool - , the teaching is excellent (certainly for my son who has had great results thus far) and the school has recently introduced an Activity Hour which has seen him thriving even more.
The grounds are large which can be a positive and negative to some, however the Reception area is in its own secure area where the children have lots of space but are mainly away from the rest of school which was really encouraging for me when he first started.
The Activity Hour - as it says on the tin - is an hour at the end of each day (excluding Fridays) where children go into Houses and participate in a block of four-week activities - including editing the school newspaper, cooking in the cookery unit or planting in the gardening area.
My son enjoys the above as well as all other aspects of school life - he runs into school. I'm painting a very sunny picture because at the moment this is what it's like for us - and I'm only one individual with one opinion and I am mindful that like most aspects of life, there will come a time, I'm sure, when I'm not happy with something - just like in most schools. however, for the time being, I can only be extremely positive about the school.
I hope this is helpful in some way.
