Our children went to Stonyhurst, St John’s Beaumont feeds into this school,

The SJB kids were all really nice.

How long does it take you to get to each one?

I did get a really good energy for the SJB kids.

All are about 20-25 mins from my house. Upton house is about 30mins.

We can make it work. We just want a healthy environment for our 4 year old as we’ve had a really negative experience in his current setting where kids were punching and kicking and saying things about the colour of his skin etc.

Upton is enormously strong on the pastoral care and is a really lovely and nurturing school. I’d certainly recommend having a look round.

I have a friend whose son left St John's Beaumont last year having been there for quite a few years. She was definitely of the opinion it had gone downhill in the time they were there - although he still seemed happy enough to me and did well.

Hi, my son is currently at SJB in nursery. My eldest also went there.

Happy to chat
