“We send both of our children to Wycliffe College. Our daughter is currently in the Upper Sixth and our son is in Year 10. We sought out the school because we wanted somewhere that would suit both our children – one is very academic, the other is much less so. Sending our children to this school was probably the best decision we have made as parents. Both are thriving in their own particular way. The small class sizes help them hugely, and the pastoral support they receive is exceptional. Communication between the school and parents is excellent. There is a very strong sense from all the staff there, teachers and others, that our children matter a great deal to them – their academic performance, their physical and mental well being, their growth and development into well rounded adults. Our daughter is passionate about art and history and has been nurtured and challenged by a fabulous and inspiring team of teachers, who push her to achieve all she is capable of. My son loves all the sport on offer and the opportunities presented to him. He receives so much encouragement by all his teachers who have focused on bringing all his strengths to the fore. In short we really don’t feel we could have found a better school than Wycliffe to nurture and teach our children through these critical years of their lives.”

“This notification suggests this is about the café inside the reception area of Bath College, although the part I'm filling in gives no clues... So I'll review both: Briefly, although it's a little disorganised, everyone's very friendly and they make a big effort to be helpful and fix things, and they're good at finding the staff responsible for the area of concern. As a brief look around the library confirms the academic range & depth is deliberately limited to concentrate on introductions to specific subjects, so they can concentrate on helping in very specific ways and not get bogged down. They have an impressive range of services not related to coursework, to support students, including help with health, finance, travel to the campus, and any other barriers to learning; and this goes beyond and in addition to the usual public services. Eg, if you can get help with a disability on the NHS but have to wait a bit longer than practical, you can get that help a lot faster as a student. A local student pass also gives you discounts at businesses outside the college, and qualifies you for NUS membership, which gives you an even better range of discounts, eg on Amazon products, and the student edition of software licences. The discounts and services do not discriminate, so you're eligible for support & subsidiaries outside the days/hours you normally attend, and the subject areas you're studying. Back to the café area: There's a café atmosphere in the reception part for meetings etc, with a counter service, and that's very light & spacious, with comfortable seats & tables, and a high quality & range of food & drinks. There is also a section serving meals, although that's currently restricted due to infection control and improvement work.”

“My grandson is taking swimming lessons here and they seem high quality. The building itself is excellent except for a tight squeeze down the sides of the pool. Nothing serious but there it is.”

“Lovely venue in the heart of the uni. We attended an IChemE water conference there. Tricky to park nearby to load and unload expo kit.”

“Nice modern building. Good facilities.”

“My mini struggled with transition and just didn't settle well at his previous setting , moved to greenshoots and best decision . They supported him exactly as I hoped at the right pace for him and his needs , staff were nurturing ,professional, knowledgeable about additional needs and fun . They treated them as their own and truly enjoy their job mad as a box of frogs the kids love their enthusiasm for dressing up ,creative games and gusto they have . All this combined made my little ones time there amazing he loved it and them.He came out of his shell started talking more he made more friends and they supported him in his goals. Communication was effective between home and pre school I always felt informed ,involved and supported with school transitions ehcp etc . Would highly recommend if your looking for a family feel, somewhere the kids are able to explore ,learn get muddy and have fun and be themselves.”

“Curtain Up is an incredible theatre school with great tutoring in drama, singing and dance. I have been at Curtain Up for three years and have enjoyed every minute of my time there. All of the staff are welcoming and professional, ensuring the students learn and develop to the best of their abilities. The regular productions performed by Curtain Up have won numerous awards and nominations from Rose Bowl and NODA. The annual summer schools held by Curtain Up are outstanding, exciting and very fun. The summer school show this year was Les Mis and it was the best two weeks of my summer holiday. Highly recommend!”

“Very good and supportive staff.”
