Inclusive educational environments in Richmond

“Outdoor Owls is just not a nursery, they offer a very inclusive and holistic way to explore the beautiful world we inhabit and they do it with so much presence and love. This has been so important in the development of our child.Though it has only been few months, the changes we get to see in him are profound. The way his sense of expression and self confidence has developed in this relatively short period of time is incredible. He has started to tell stories, make new friends and get comfortable with new people around. Everytime we pick and drop him the space feels so alive! The enthusiasm of the children mixed with the freshness of nature, it is always a treat to be in that energetic space even for few minutes. A lot of work and effort goes into being around and manage so many kids in the outdoors, but the teachers do it so effortlessly. They are so committed to their wellbeing. They are the perfect nurtures and a home away from home. Outdoors has been very important to us growing up so we were very excited for our child but Outdoor Owls turned out to be much more than what we expected, they are a perfect place to lay the foundation. I would highly recommend sending kids to an actual forest school/nursery like Outdoor Owls for a holistic physical, mental and emotional development.”

“Richmond is a great place to work, it feels like a really diverse, friendly, international community. We’ve got really exciting times ahead in 2022 with a move to a new campus in Chiswick Park, accommodation available for our students in IQ Haywood House in West Hampstead and we are celebrating our 50th year. Great that our students put Richmond as one of the top five London universities for satisfaction levels in the quality of the course in the 2021 National Student Survey (NSS).”

“We love Diddi dance and we love Mona. So much energy, enthusiasm and fun.”

“Great college with very good tutors that care about the wellbeing and progress of students. Made some cool friends while there.In my vfx course I got lots of resources and industry standard software for 3d modelling. My tutor was engaging and funny.”

“My son goes to this school and he's very happy. The headmaster Mr Mundy-Castle is a very positive and inspiring man. The progression this school is going through is quite brilliant. I have no doubt that RPA will go from Good to Outstanding in the next Ofsted report and it doesn't surprise me more and more East Sheen and Barnes families are now sending their kids here. Sixth Form students are now leaving here to go to Oxford. I felt compelled to leave a review because all the One Star reviews I'm reading on here don't seem to ring true with what we're seeing.”

“Both my children have loved going to nursery here. The staff are lovely and speak to the children with kindness and respect. All the rooms lead out onto the gardens and the kids have a lot of space to play on bikes. My eldest learnt how to ride a balance bike at nursery. The food is fresh, delicious and filling. Most importantly my daughter is happy and loves attending nursery. Keep up the good work”

“Cannot rate Studio K highly enough. The teachers Chloe and Sarah are so friendly and always bring good vibes. The classes are super fun, a great work out, simple booking via Mindbody and it's very reasonable at around £10 a class. Love it so much and can’t believe I hadn’t been before I did. Really friendly atmosphere no matter what level you’re at and all body types welcome!. They even introduce new people to the class by name and make the effort to remember people’s names. Can recommend hip hop, clubbercise and Zumba. Thank you ladies!!”

“I attended beginner ballet class with Natasha and it was a good way to go back into ballet after years of stop! The teacher is amazing and the space is very nice and clean!”

“Beautiful white building in the heart of Richmond park. Surrounded by a green fence claims to be one of the world’s greatest centres of classical ballet training. Certainly worth taking a look !!!”

“A lovely inclusive community school in a beautiful Victorian building”

“Fantastic school, does a good Job of teaching it's pupils I recommend this every parent”

“So happy to have found MV Academy! Enthusiast and professional teachers.”

“As someone who has worked with young people at an academic level before, I congratulate all teachers at Stegecoach Kew. My son is 11 y and English is his second language. He enjoyed every workshop he attended. Indeed, the Stagecoach Kew became a place my son wanted to go to every day. There are hearty, cheerful workshops and teachers that I can sincerely recommend to every parent, that add enthusiasm to children's lives, and support children's social, academic and most importantly pedagogical development.”

“Sudbrook is a lovely school, the children are loved and taught and come out with a good background. There is a great mix of physical and mental work coupled with healthy amounts of play. Honestly we could have done with having longer hours but if that's the worst problem then they are doing very very well. Highly recommended for your little ones. Not recommended as a sixth form college :) ......................”

“Teachers and all the staff are amazing, espcially special thanks to Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Jane O'Brien. I think the building is pretty nice and big enough as well. But what we liked most was their professional approach and teaching methods which we couldn't see in other nurseries.”

“Great school, very professional staff and amazing curriculum”

“Best school if you want your child to have a great start in life - they give your child the life skills they need. My child was successful and happy there!”

“My daughter attended for 2 years and it was a wonderful time. The school team is sensational, very well prepared and attentive. We are very happy with this nursery.”

“Wholeheartedly recommend. Our elder daughter has had two very happy and fulfilling years here and our younger daughter will hopefully start here later this year. Teaching staff have been excellent throughout and are totally dedicated to the children in every way.”
