    AVOID AT ALL COSTS-OVER PRICED-VILE MANAGERS-BULLYING ALLOWED

    Please think long and hard about investing in any way at this school as I don't think it will last much longer than 2 more years and could close with no notice to parents or staff. Already the head teacher has Quit right in the middle of his flailing campaign to raise £2.5 for a sports hall that he keeps changing his mind about - embarrassing to all who are involved and god help the investors so far.

    Avoid

    Terrible school. If you want to pay through the nose for the children of staff to get all the opportunities before your kids, then this is the place for you. Bullying by rich families is ignored. No wonder they’re desperate for students number to rise.
