Top 30 Best High school in Orpington

“St Olave's has a very nice, pleasant environment where students are able to strive, as well as feel comfortable around teachers. With the extra curricular activities students learn that the school is NOT all about the grades, but inspiring the future generation.”

“Best Primary School I've ever seen. I went here when I was younger (only three years ago) and it was the best education I've ever had. The teachers are amazing- none lack effort or control unlike the teachers in Harris. The best teacher which I was very lucky to have was Matt Linzey. Great teacher, whoever gets him have a great year. He helped us amazingly through our SATs and we had such a fun last year- it was sad to leave. Great atmosphere, if I could go back I most certainly would.”

“I can’t praise Bright Beginnings enough. The staff are all wonderful. So caring, it’s like a home from home. My daughter and son both went to the pre-school and it set them up perfectly for reception. They go the extra mile with summer sports events, nativity, little outings to the local area and regular updates to parents on how little ones are doing. They both raced in every morning. It’s was so lovely to see. I would highly recommend anyone taking a look around to see what they have to offer.”

“Great family run, friendly, caring and supportive. Brilliant for different ages and abilities.”

“My daughter joined stagecoach just a few months ago. I could see her change in a positive way as she grew her confidence. The show was fab and could see professional approach and a good story line.. really happy with Stagecoach Orpington.. looking forward to the main stage:) thank you”

“Great adult ballet class - good for balance, posture, stretching, etc., and all to lovely music with wonderful teacher. Ideal for beginners and those who have done ballet before, however long ago. 8-9pm Mondays at Orpington Village Hall except in school holidays.”

“Really wonderful headteacher and staff, my son definitely enjoyed his school in Poverest”

“Great school for kids with special educational needs. My experience is with a child with autism and its great to stand in a playground with parents praising the school instead of moaning.”

“It's a great school and they do anything and everything for your child/children”

“As my son makes his way through the school, I am more and more impressed at their ability to teach and nurture more than one teenager!!”

“I love midfield i go to this school and this school is a lot better than my old school the only teachers i know the best ar mrss parrot and mrss woosnam!im alrite with my spanish teacher but i still like the other teachers more funny,caring and yeah.”

“A lovely caring school where children are nurtured and encouraged to be their best”

“My 11month old daughter has started here. I’m impressed with the professionalism of all the staff. They are very attentive with all the children. Facilities are great and a huge variety for every child’s needs. My baby comes home to me very happy indeed. Thank you team!”

“Manor Oak is a nurturing, family oriented primary school. The staff really care and are very supportive of the children and parents. I have had four children go to Manor Oak and i have been a happy parent with happy children here for many years. They have thrived and have enjoyed coming to school. The SEN support here is also fantastic. I would highly recommend Manor Oak Primary School for your childs education and wellbeing.”

“I came across Harris Academy students on the bus and looked up their uniform. I am really impressed by their behaviour. There was none of the usual lairy behaviour, shouting and fighting. Instead, they talked amongst themselves and made way for other people on the bus. Very cool and self aware students.”

“My daughter has been at Orpington montessori for over a year now and loves it there. She has never once been reluctant to go in, the opposite infact and has a great relationship with all the staff there, regardless of whether or not they are her key worker. The staff are attentive and helpful, children have so many different opportunities given to them and my daughter has made loads of progress in her phonics and writing which is entirely down to the work they do with her. Even when they changed the school day to a 3.30 finish which we couldn't manage, they were flexible and allowed us to continue with an earlier pick up as those were the hours we had already signed up for, with no charge. We haven't got a bad word to say about Orpington Montessori and had a great feel for it from the first time we visited. I recommend this preschool to everyone we know who lives locally and choose to drive to take my daughter there over more local options.”

“A really lovely village school. Having 4 children taught at Chelsfield we are happy with the school and most importantly my children feel safe and cared for there. Being a small school the children get lots of opportunities that bigger schools aren't able to offer like more 1 to 1 teaching and plenty of school trips to enrich their learning. Also the PTA do an amazing job of fundraising for the school!!”
