Not a school I would recommend has issue of bullying within the school and one that school tries to cover up, my Niece had to be taken out of the school due to the amount of bullying she was receiving and the school didn't want to know, and just covers it up. Also for a school that has a strong pastoral care you have a head master who recently split from his wife due to being caught having an affair with his PA who was also married and has a young child in his office during working hours, not really showing the children a great example and the PA is half is age again slightly worrying. In total better schools in the area.
