Hi all,
Not long until the big day! I'm looking forward to it all coming to an end now, I see the light!!![:)]( "Smile")
I would love to hear from parents with children at Pates or Denmark Road please as those are our top 2 choices.
What is the pastoral care like? I have heard from some saying both schools are very acamedic, which I don't mind as my daughter is very acamedic, she isn't into sports but does love art. I want her to go to a school that offers a well rounded education though, and not just focuses on grades but on nurturing kindness and empathy. A school that encourages curiousity in other areas too allowing them to be really well rounded individuals who aren't just about the grades. I want my daughter to really love her secondary school experience, as much as she is studious and academic, I don't want her school life to just be about that. I loved hearing about Pates' enrichment Tuesdays, they sounded fun. And the clubs on offer at both schools.
I asked the students who showed us around if they have many issues with bullying etc, they said the schools are really good at nipping things in the bud so that was nice to hear.
Looking forward to reading your responses.
