When it comes to the happiness of our pupils and quality of our teaching and facilities, don’t take our word for it, take a look at what some of our children and others have to say.
“5 star school (if we could make it higher we would!)”
“We went orienteering around the school grounds in pairs. It involved team work and friendships and we all had a brilliant morning!”
“The boarding community is great. Everybody acts like a family up in the boarding house and always looks after each other – from seniors to juniors.”
“Games is great fun and it gives us a break from the classroom. We have many talented pupils but we try to let everyone have a go in matches whatever they are like in sport.”
“Hilltop required a lot of teamwork and encouragement and everyone came away saying they had achieved a lot more than they had hoped to!”
“It was a very interesting morning and we learnt a lot.”(a morning with PC Tomlinson)
“It was a great experience and lots and lots of fun!” (Year 8 overnight canoe expedition)
“Just a quick note to say thank you so much for today. It was such a pleasure coming back to visit and meeting all the current pupils and staff. It’s nice to see that the changes that have happened since I left have only enhanced what was already a very special place. Mike’s speech really conveyed that well. A special thank you to Blythe and Samantha who I didn’t get a chance to thank at the end. They were an absolute pleasure on the tour, very informative, bright and a credit to the school…” (former Old Taverhamian Pupil after visiting the school during the May 2010 Open Morning with his young family)
