Another smallish prep school gone

Staff and pupils informed in the middle of summer holidays 4 weeks before new term starts

My DS attends Loyola, and I have found it to be a very nurturing school. The Head has excellent leadership, and the boys are exceptionally well behaved and polite.

Yes, being a Catholic school, there is naturally a focus on religion, but I would still say it is a very well-balanced school. The boys do very well academically, and if you look at the rankings, Loyola has consistently featured amongst the top 40 preparatory schools across the country.

I also cannot say that I have experienced parents communicating in other languages. I completely refute that comment, as it certainly has not been my experience at Loyola.

I would highly recommend Loyola as a school and DS has been nothing but happy there!

I really wanted my boys to go to Loyola as the boys from there did so well academically, musically and in sport and the parents we knew were fine. At the time the alternative was dire.

TheEagerAmberRobin you don't know what you are talking about. LOYOLA is a wonderful school. If you go on their website you'll see they had a recent inspection where they were rated as OUTSTANDING in all areas!

Are the Avon House children settled into their new classes?
