Private school education in Croydon

“Lovely swimming school with excellent teachers. They take great care in ensuring children are happy and comfortable in the water before teaching them excellent technique in each of the four main strokes. The classes are a good size, allowing for individualised instructions where required and as they progress the children gain stamina, speed and confidence. They also provide feedback and updates on children's progress, moving them up levels when they need to or identifying areas in which they could improve. A great swim school that we'd highly recommend.”

“From my point of view on Whitgift, it did seem to be fairly large and good, with new sports hall and labs and DT/IT stuffs. Teachers are really nice (but a few) and education is at a high standard. There is school tuck shop around the school ground, with direct payment in school canteen.”

“We cannot fault anything about this nursery. The members of staff are wonderful and have really gotten to know our little boy. They communicate with us every evening at pick up and tell us everything about his day, what they've done, what he has eaten, how much he has slept, his mood and his progress. We cannot believe how much he has come on since joining this nursery in September after stalling in his development at another place. The food offered is varied and my little boys eating has really improved too. The facilities are great and the children spend lots of time outside and even have PE classes. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone!”

“Great school , tastes nice with syrup on top ( would recommend )”

“A very friendly school which I enjoyed every bit since the start of the term.Best place ever!!!”

“Excellent secondary school, with great opportunities. The staff make every effort to get to the bottom of pastoral issues and support students to mature and resolve their own issues. The school is not about league tables it is about training young people to take on their role as independent, well-informed citizens. The single-sex house system gives both the girls and the boys space to be themselves; and the mixed classes ensure that all pupils develop as rounded individuals at ease with each other. There is a strong ethical and moral ethos; there is a distinctive international spirit which at its best offers a long-term apprenticeship in international affairs, public speaking and debating through the MUN and other activities. Academically it offers huge stretch to those who are very able, and support to those who are not.”

“My primary school is the best school you can send a child to teachers want to have a good relationship with the students and parents the food is good the learning is outstanding the schedule never changes it's a dream school I'm happy to say I attended”

“Experienced teachers and small class sizes. Teachers take time to know each student's personal strengths and weaknesses so that individual needs are met. CMC delivers a great academic experience!”

“My six children all went to Oakwood - my eldest went to secondary school in 2002 and my youngest in 2015. They all look back with great affection at their time at the school and gratitude for the fantastic education, spiritual development and opportunities they had to develop their enjoyment and talents in music, drama, verse-speaking, sport. They had a lot of fun at Oakwood whilst always being encouraged to give of their best in their work and in their relationships with others. They felt genuinely cared for and valued by all the staff and supported if they struggled with school work or friendship issues or any other worries they had. Mr Candia, the Head, was especially an inspiration to them. As a parent I feel blessed that my children were able to spend those formative years at such a fantastic primary school.”

“A brilliant school! I was crying when I left at the end of year 6”

“Really helped me find the right school for my 10 yr old.”

“These guys know their stuff and are excellent at teaching techniques to the younger crew too.”

“I absolutely love coming to these classes. Zhaida's positive energy and passion are so infectious. I cannot wait until the face to face classes are back up and running again!”

“Excellent dance school. My daughter took part in their show. It was so polished and professional. I was particularly impressed at how every child taking ballet took part in a mini version of Peter Pan - the planning and prep on that alone! Extra rehearsals were laid on which meant juggling for parents but the results were outstanding.”

“I have weekly private 1-1 lessons with Nikita and I recommend him unreservedly as a fantastic, talented ballroom dance teacher. What a joy to have lessons with such a fabulous dancer and professional, patient, dedicated and energetic teacher. My dancing has improved greatly. Be prepared to work hard and enjoy! And he’s a nice guy too!”

“FANTASTIC CLASSES also teach DDMix in CROYDON highly recommend this”

“Two of my daughters attend MK Dance and absolutely love it there! There is a great atmosphere and something we all look forward to every Saturday!”

“My children have been having lessons with Great Waves for about 5 years and we are really happy. The teachers are great- really kind, patient and professional. Lessons are well organised and the communication is excellent. We are kept informed of any changes e.g. a different teacher or an issue with parking at the venue. I'd especially recommend Great Waves for children with SEN as they go out of their way to get to know each child and how to support them.”

“Excellent school with kind and caring staff and friendly well brought up students!”

“Amazing school with dedicated and caring staff AND its own radio station... watch out Capital radio!”
