Hi, does anyone have children at this school who could give an honest view on its pros and cons. Have visited with our child (for reception entry) and overall have a good impression (though lack of outside space is an issue). Child is currently at an Ofsted Outstanding school and we are very undecided on whether to move them. The academics are pretty important to us, so would be helpful to understand how challenged the children are academically ..Thanks.

No child there but my answer, based on many friends who have been parents there, is that it depends if you have a girl or a boy. Boys are chucked out at 7+ and girls remain. Fine if your son is a sure bet for 7+ entry, a bit more stressful if your son is not.

I have a child in Reception there at the moment and I am very pleased. Looks very good: very engaged teachers, child making good progress, lovely children and families. Outside space was a shock but now seems forgotten. Boys do leave at end of Y2 but there are many options outside the 7+ schools (Falcons/Orchard House/King's House).
