Education standards in Sutton

“Our daughter joined Sutton High in Year 7 and is very happy there. She came from a wonderful state primary school (which she loved, and we loved), so the bar had been set very high, but we have nothing but praise for the school. Our perception of the new head is that she is fantastic; hugely energetic, invested, communicative and very present, with a great vision for the school. Her staff are passionate about their roles as educators, are very approachable and really know their pupils and how to support and progress them. The school takes the students’ health and wellbeing very seriously, and the girls know that there is network of support available to them, should they need it. Academically, they have high expectations of the girls, and encourage them to work to the very best of THEIR ability. And this is where I think Sutton High perhaps differs from other schools in the area. Our daughter got a place at the local grammar school, but in the end, we chose to send her to Sutton High. Financially, it was a very big decision (especially as we have two daughters!), but my husband posed the question, ‘Where do you think she will thrive more?’, and my instinctive answer was Sutton High. The variety of opportunities in terms of sport, art, music, drama, STEM, trips etc are great and wide-ranging, and offer the chance for your daughter to find something that they really love and are good at. That’s a real bonus for the self-esteem when navigating the occasionally rocky path of teenager-hood! Overall, as our daughter trots happily down to the station each morning, looking ahead to a school day filled with lovely friends, ‘kind teachers and amazing food’ (her words!) and lots of interesting learning opportunities, we feel we made the right decision.”

“A very friendly, attentive team that really care about the children with them.”

“I have known partners Josh & Shankar and their brilliant team for over 7+ years and have helped me and several of my landlords, clients, and family with complex tax affairs. I highly recommend getting in touch with them. They are fast, efficient, and resourceful. One of the best accountants, we have worked with. With Best Regards Gobi....”

“A really brilliant class- my five year old has loved her first year. Fantastic teachers with great energy, and the kids always come out of class with the biggest smiles!”

“My daughter had been at a child minder from 12months to 2 years. The minute I got the 30hours funding I moved her to Bright Horizons Nursery in sutton. It was the best decision I ever made. No only is My daughter, who has had some Behavioral issues, doing amazingly, she loves all the staff and to be honest so do I. I literally have so much time for them. They are real, honest, sincere, caring, professional and overall good people. I have some regrets that I didn’t send my daughter there from the start but honestly I couldn’t afford it as she is there full time 50 hours a week. I’m just grateful for the funding that allowed me to send her there for the year before going to reception school. They have a special room for pre-schoolers to get them ready. I wish she could stay there longer. All the staff are wonderful. I can’t praise them enough.”

“It's a lovely, well organised and high achieving school. My kids love going here and I'd recommend it to any parent.”

“So far, so good. High expectations, not necessarily a bad thing given that these girls are tomorrow leaders. Overall I am a happy parent of two girls at the school.”

“I love this school, I used to go there and its the best.”

“I absolutely love Fledglings Day Nursery. The minute we made contact I felt really looked after. The support of the staff is incredible. Everybody went out of their way with communication, looking after both my children, activities, nappy changes, snacks, development, milestones. Fledglings is everything that I could ask for in a nursery. As a parent its worrying handing our children over but I could honestly get on with my job without wondering if my children were ok. They were genuinely looked after. My older 2 went there and my youngest will be attending soon. Highly recommended!”

“Came here to watch one of our granddaughters who plays for Carshalton ladies ( 8 years) and was acting as a mascot for today's game against Herne bay.Special mention for Andy on the gate who found car space for us as my wife is disabled and in a wheelchair .And also to lady behind bar who changed water in my wifes hot water bottle. She needs this as she has severe back problems.Lovely people there. Shame it wasn't a win for Carshalton.”

“Well run well treated kids happy for my chilren to attend this school we are lucky to have got this school for our children and 3 have attended this school.”
