What a member of the public said about our Pupils while on Forest School:
"Having worked in education in the past, I know that often people are quick to let you know when students make mistakes and behave badly. So I wanted to take the time to let you know what a pleasure it was to meet your students yesterday. They were an absolute credit to themselves and to your school. Please thank them and send our praise for how kind and thoughtful they were towards my little boy"
