Quite a bit of homework from reception onwards in comparison to some other schools. Not many behavioural issues although I hear some parents complaining here and there. My biggest issue with the school is not many extracurricular activities offered as a part of after school club. I wish I realised it sooner but otherwise I have no regrets sending my little one there.

Thanks so much! Really appreciate that. What year is your little one in? Would you say they stretch the higher attainers ? Thanks so much!

Not too sure my little one is KS1 so too early to say. Talking to some friends with older kids it feels like a mixed bag and a lot depends on the teacher.

Ah ok thanks so much... results are so amazing so would hope they're doing something right!

@user148984678942 may I ask how it would feel to be a non catholic at the school? I worry it might be a bit alienating and would value your thoughts!

The school is pretty diverse and there are plenty of kids from various backgrounds so I wouldn't worry about it. Having said that all the kids have to attend masses at school etc regardless of their religion so you need to make sure you are fine with it.

That's lovely to hear, thanks so much. We're CofE, so no issue at all with mass etc. I just didn't want him to be the only one not doing First Holy Communion etc.

If this is your only concern then I wouldn't worry about, there will be plenty who don't.
