Student focused curriculum 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.”

“Teachers are amazing so kind and supportive it made me feel special and cared for. Help you with all kinds of difficulties in any dance.”

“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.”

“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.”

“A very nice, happy, welcoming school with great, facilities and helpful teachers when I was a student there. A brand new building is being constructed on site at the moment so I suspect it will be even better in the future.”

“Always been a fabulous school. My 3 kids adore it - the teachers care and the facilities are wonderful.”

“Amazing nursery: very friendly and kind staff, our son gained a lot of confidence and improved dramatically his language, learning and social skills; family atmosphere”

“My four children attended St Edmund's and all were very happy. They received an excellent all-round education from an experienced and caring staff, in a warm but ambitious environment. I am now a governor at St Edmund's and am impressed every single time I attend the school for visits or meetings, at the absolute passion that all school staff have to ensure that every single child makes excellent progress and learns lifelong skills. I can't recommend this school highly enough, I am proud of my children and what they have achieved and give a good part of the credit for this to St Edmund's.”

“My two boys (5 and 7) attend the school. They are happy and go into school with no fuss whatsoever. Oasis has a strong focus on emotional wellbeing. They try to ensure the children are aware of their emotions (so important at the moment) and have excellent SEN provision with a special classroom dedicated to this. The school is relatively new, but the staff work so incredibly hard and are so invested in the children. We love it and our boys are very happy.”

“A vary well balanced school, The teaching are staff are very good and I am happy with the teaching experience.”

“Windham is my son’s first nursery, prior to Windham we only attended Montessori lessons. I knew that this nursery had the outstanding Ofsted rating, but I was still really worried how my son would adapt as he was used to being at home with a baby-sitter while I was working from home. We moved to England from a different country and his English wasn’t good enough to express himself well. Teachers at Windham surrounded my son with such warmth, attention and care that he became almost fluent in English in 2 months time! (sounds incredible, but that’s the reality). They created a customised timeline board for him to make sure he could always indicate whether he was hungry, wanted a drink and made sure he never felt lost. The selection of activities at Windham throughout a term was impressive as well: they invited farms with different animals and kids could feed them from the bottles themselves. Kids observed how caterpillars turned into butterflies etc. During the international days, there was an incredible event with African drums orchestrated by an instructor (a very charismatic man in a national suit). Each child had a drum, the entire group of kids was practicing together. Bravo to the entire Windham team, you exceed the best expectations!”

“Small, local and personal service.Great facilities for your child.”

“This school does great things with the pupils who attend it.”

“My daughter has been here since reception. Excellent school.”

“An excellent school that's improved massively in recent years and is now one of the best in South West London.”
