Student development in South Croydon

“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!”

“It's so amazing anyone to think its not good well they ain't seen nothing yet. I love Stagecoach its my life xxxxx”

“My two have been attending for a year and they love it. Plus they have been brought out of their shells and made lots of friends. The teachers are very friendly and nice and encouraging and the whole thing is at much higher standards then other drama school”

“Love this school, hidden away in a residential area, you are welcomed by an old, huge building but it is not intimidating. The school is friendly and nurturing, like when I went to school. It is not like these academies that focus on results and not the children's wellbeing. The staff are friendly and my children made fabulous progress here! Dont just read ofsted reports, go and visit a school and talk to the people who work there day in and day out!”

“Jigsaw is a great Performing Arts School and has very enthusiastic staff. The children who attend here get a overall sense of confidence and learn subjects including singing, Dancing and acting. Parents are also encouraged to partake in their children's learning by learning scripts and songs for performances.”

“Excellent place for our little ones to start learning and enjoying swimming”

“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!”

“I will miss this school terribly after leaving it this year... It's really really lovely!”

“I go to this school and it is a litt I love it and have only been in it for 2 months”

“Both our son and daughter began to learn to swim with Aquatots from the age of 6 months. They are now 10 and 6 and still enjoy their weekly lessons. From our perspective, we have watched them grow in confidence and technique with supportive, caring and encouraging teachers. The administrative support team are also incredibly helpful. We cannot recommend Aquatots highly enough.”

“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.”

“This school really helps the children who needs special care and help ..”

“I go to this school and it is the best! #Fairfieldhouse”

“I bought a laptop stand to enable me to make online presentations standing up rather than sitting at my desk. I use the stand all the time as it gives me total flexibility for positioning my screen. Even when using the laptop from seated the stand is invaluable. My neck ache has been cured since my screen is now at eye level. The stand sits securely on my desk and can easily be moved if I wish to work in another room. It is an excellent investment in appearing professional onscreen, and for improving my posture and health.”

“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.”

“Excellent Saturday Performing Arts programme - friendly teachers who have real industry experience and are so enthusiastic and passionate! Very inclusive! Lovely to see boys and girls of different ages working collaboratively - not only developing skills in music, drama and dance, the sessions also help the children improve their creative thinking, concentration and confidence to express themselves and perform.”

“I have been working at Purley Oaks for over 10 years now as a class teacher , both in Year One and Reception. I can honestly say that I love it here. Everyone is so kind and welcoming . We all help each other out no matter what year group we are in or what job role we have - we are a great team! I was advised when I was an NQT to keep moving to different schools but I really don’t want to be anywhere else! In Reception we are a fantastic team and work very closely together. We have such fun and it is amazing to see the children progress throughout the year. I feel that in Early Years we give children a great start to their learning careers!”

“A great school that I attended 1960 - 1965. Teachers I remember Mr Rees, Mrs.fisher, Mrs. Coles all very strict but good.”

“Lovely teachers, good methodology, excellent facilities, overall very good school and most of all, my kids love going to school which is what it's all about at the end of the day.”

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

“Very good school principle very nice gives a good education for all kids”

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