Wonderful school - kids are happy there
The comments below leave me wondering if they are real (each comment uses the same expressions etc.) Our daughter is in this school, and we can only say good things about it - the school is small so everyone knows everyone. They're being looked after, treated as a respected personality, and the staff is generally very polite, approachable, attentive and can share a good laugh with kids at times. Almost every step of every school year parents are being asked their opinion and listened to their concern, if any. The kids do get odd bruise due to playing at the playground but that's normal for active kids, they just bump into each other or fall running. We wouldn't want them to sit patiently on the bench during their break - they're primary school kids, they should be running and jumping and sometimes falling, too, that's fine. My daughter and her schoolmates are happy kids, as far as I know, and I accompany them a lot and observe their behaviour, so from my point of view, The Wells Free is a wonderful school with a good curriculum, loads of after-school activities and humane attitude towards students.

Immoral
My child's last year in Year 6 at TWFS was extremely disappointing and distressing. The environment created by the teachers was far from nurturing. Many teachers seemed to feel entitled to say whatever they wanted to the children, often breaking them down emotionally rather than building them up. This created an atmosphere that was unsafe and uncaring. The poor governance from the headteacher was evident throughout the year. There was a noticeable lack of core values, and it felt like anything g...

Rude, kids being hurt.
This school was once good, but things have gone downhill. There are loads of accidents on the school playground, and lots of bullying going on aswell. I have heard only bad things about this school. Some of the things people enjoy, but even then, something bad is bound to happen. Try something different.

Poor leadership
Once upon a time this school was good. Unfortunately things have gone downhill dramatically last year with the current headteacher. Good staff have left and are still leaving. Bad teachers have stayed and are supported for their lies and deplorable behaviour with our children. To the headteacher: The new behaviour policy you're putting our children through the first days of this new year is comical. What about the behaviour policy for yourself and the teachers? This is what many of us parents...
