Anybody have any knowledge of this school?

We are considering it for DS who will hopefully then go to Caldicott if we can find the money.

I will of course go to an open day to see for myself but interested to know if anybody has any personal experience?

I don't know anything about the school other than it's currently being threatened with closure at the end of this Summer Term! :(

Sorry to be bearer of bad news! You could join the fight to try and save it though! :-)

Oh, that is a bit disappointing! Thanks for the link though bluegiraffe. My sister (in a completely different area) has gone through her kids' school closing and it has not been a good experience. I'd think very carefully about any school where that was a risk.

Have you thought about Claires Court (Ridgeway)? My DD is in the Nursery/Transition class at the College (girls) site and we use the Holiday Club - she loves it. I've heard good things on Ridgeway, though not looked at it in detail, obviously, having a DD! ;-)

or St Piran's?...

Good luck!

Thanks bluegiraffe.

I'm in Burnham and work in Bourne End so the school run to the Ridgeway wouldn't work (unfortunately, otherwise I think it would be first choice).

The others on my list are Dair House and the Herries. I've been to both and thought Dair House was ok but wasn't blown away by the atmosphere or the Head. I loved Herries but am concerned about their finances too as it is so small. Ho hum. Maybe I'll have another look at the IAPS website and the map!
