DD was in Hawes Down Infant until last Summer and is now in Y3 in the Juniors.
She loved the Infant, very "cuddly" school, the emotional side of development is important to them. The children love the teacher and head, they are in no way shy towards them or reluctant to speak and there is a lot of respect both ways. When the old head left the children went into a day of mourning, lots of tears in the playground and at the end of the day its was not "Yeah holiday" but "Mrs. D is not coming back".
They have good results but I found communication about academic matters lacked - a lot. We encountered difficulties in Y2 and the teacher didn't come back to us with proper explanations, no real help how to help DD and in the end she dropped levels and they didn't tell us until the final report in July.
The Juniors - the children move virtually 1-to-1 into Juniors, is so far good. Also good when it comes to results, they managed to get their Ofsted rating turned around from Requires Improvement to Good only one year after the initial downgrade. They put lots of emphasis on sport and music and getting the children independent and self confident.
Infant and Junior will become an Academy together with Langley School for Boys and Langley Girls. But Bromley pushes all primaries to become Academies so this doesn't give you an advantage or disadvantage.
Both schools have a Special Needs Class with around 10 children. I find this quite rewarding for all the children, they are part of the school life, included in all activities as well.
Pickhurst - neighbour's children go there, she is happy with Infant, not so much with Juniors. With 120 children it is a large school and this was the reason we didn't put it down as our first choice.
