"I was able to join a class for Maths and Phonics and, once again, was very impressed by what I saw. I couldn't believe the maturity with which many of the students worked - no doubt in no small part due to the example set by the class teacher, who was clear in her instructions, and uniform in her engagement with the pupils."

Mr Murray | Vistor to school

"The children who attended the Torquay United match are a credit to your school the way they behaved. They didn't stop singing despite the bad weather!"

Jo Harris | Community Officer at Torquay United

"My first impression of the school was of the brilliant reception staff who, though clearly very busy, were as welcoming as they were efficient."

Mr Murray | School visitor

"It was great to see how much thought had been put into the facilities and their use. From outdoor teaching areas for early years pupils, to specific playground features such as large tyres which were there to replicate outdoor play more typical of the pre-digital era; everything was aimed at enriching the pupil experience."
