Not had a child there and a lot can change in 4.5yrs.
However, I volunteered there and did a bit in all age ranges. I was shocked to find some KS2 children did not know their alphabet despite very small numbered classes. But I guess some of that is due to the fact that if your child needs a TA it cost you more.
That said, most teachers and staff seemed good and nice, lessons were good, grounds are lovely, food was good but most importantly the (new-ish then) head seemed commited and lovely.
Shame the riding school has been closed down but I believe there is still something for students with horses.
Windscomb is the closest place to live. It is a nice village, expensive though and limited in amenities, a pub, co-op, few small Independant shops and take aways and beauty salon. A little further away is Banwell which would be cheaper to buy but has less in the way of amenities than Windscomb. Both have become a bit of a through road though and spoils the country village feel somewhat. Cheddar is also fairly close. And is like a larger, more well known Windscomb.
Hope DS enjoys the school.
