Independent Schools in Newbury

[Cheesecastle]

Hi,
I have been reading a very mixed reviews about HH (now starting Co-ed, new Head master, new investor etc.) and Brockhurst and Marlstow for my DS. We are looking for an entry into Reception in 2023.
Does anyone have any recent experiences? Are there any other better schools that we should consider?
Thanks

Hello. I just name changed for this.

I've worked at StGabriels, not on the teaching side. I have to be quite vague here. Sorry.

Looks fancy, but a bit less so close up when you get to see the buildings a bit better. They don't have money to throw at things. What they do have is a wonderful caring atmosphere, some really kind and dedicated teachers who put the children first at all times. Maybe worth a look.

Elstree, Cheam, Thorngrove..in that order…far better options
