The 30 Best School in Kingston upon Hull

“I began dancing at Rhythm and Dreams Dancing Centre 12 years ago after a long break from dancing, and my two children followed shortly afterwards. All of the classes are fantastic and my children have developed preferences for their own style, although they are still very exited about all of the dancing they do. We all enjoy the classes, shows and competitions we now have the opportunity to take part in and I have watched my children grow in confidence and ability. Thank you to everyone at Rhythm and Dreams for being the people you are, your kindness goes beyond professionalism. Over the years Rhythm and Dreams has become like a second family. It is one of my favourite places to be. There is a great atmosphere and everyone is so supportive and friendly. Thanks again.”

“Using the Alter G treadmill felt amazing. It takes all the weight out of your legs and really helps to focus on building up your movements again after injury. Chris was incredible and supported me throughout the process, would definitely recommend.”

“Today was my first day and, honestly, I didn’t expect to feel so welcome right away. Everyone is really friendly, and the atmosphere is just awesome. I know a lot of people are scared to try something like this because they think they’ll stand out as beginners, but I didn’t feel that at all , everyone is genuinely friendly.I already can’t wait for the next class.”

“A great place for all performing arts whatever ages, excellent tutors and high levels of training. They are a very welcoming and creative bunch that produce very high standard of shows and performing education! If your looking for tuition in the area of Hull, STATE OF THE ARTS is your place!!”

“I wanted to buy my first small amp for my first electric uke and after looking at their comprehensive website I had a question, so sent a chat message and immediately got a very friendly voice calling me belonging to a man named Shaun. He asked me a few more details and was sure they would be able to sort me out. He was right, when I arrived I asked for him, he remembered my name and what I was coming to look at. I got just what I was after. All the staff were friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable. Well worth the 40 mins drive each way and definitely not my last visit to the shop!”

“They’ve a really good and kind staff. They’re helping everyone very well in anything the students need. I was one of their students I got so much helped with GCSE and then I passed my exams bt their help.”

“Had a great time at the Barn dance tonight. Will be there at the next one. Good fun was had by all.”

“From the very first call, the team at Swim Now has been incredibly responsive and supportive. I’ve had three lessons so far — my first time ever in a pool — and I’m already gaining confidence thanks to Liz's patient and encouraging approach. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn to swim in a safe and positive environment.”

“My son Sam has been going to NAPA from age 4, he's 17 next week and loves every minute of being there. He calls it his second home. He's made some fantastic friends and all the staff are awesome, it's just like a big family. He loves it so much he has just started the full time 2 year course. Definitely recommend it to anyone”

“We watched a fantastic family show performed by children of all ages with the support of the brilliant staff team. I particularly enjoyed the twist on the 3 little pigs story, if you want to know what it was, you'll have to get tickets!”

“Middleton Hall is an iconic and historic building at the University of Hull, located in the heart of the campus. The hall, which serves as a venue for events, conferences, and performances, has a rich history that dates back to the early 18th century. Originally, the hall was built in 1735 as a private residence for Thomas Atkinson, a wealthy local merchant. It was designed in the Georgian style and featured elegant architecture and exquisite detailing. The house remained in the Atkinson family until the mid-19th century when it was sold to another local merchant named Henry Briggs. Over the years, the hall changed hands several times and underwent numerous renovations and expansions. In the 1930s, it was acquired by Hull University College, which had recently been established and was looking for a suitable venue for its activities. The hall was extensively refurbished and transformed into a stunning venue that could accommodate large groups of people. Throughout the years, Middleton Hall has served as an essential hub for the university's cultural and social activities. It has hosted countless events, ranging from concerts and theater performances to academic conferences and public lectures. The hall has also been used as a venue for exams, graduations, and other official ceremonies. In recent years, the hall has undergone a significant renovation to ensure that it remains a vibrant and relevant venue for future generations. The renovation included the installation of state-of-the-art technology, new seating, and improved lighting and acoustics. The hall's beautiful Georgian features were preserved and enhanced, ensuring that it remains a unique and historic venue. In conclusion, Middleton Hall is an integral part of the University of Hull's history and identity. Its elegant architecture and rich heritage make it a unique and special venue that continues to play an essential role in the cultural and social life of the university and the wider community”

“We enjoyed a 3hr Walking Netball session with members from clubs in our area. It was organised by Olivia Park who is our East Yorkshire Netball England contact. We had 4 teams of mixed abilities. This time we where playing a mini league with teams from South Cave, Recketts, Haltemprice, Hessle, South Holderness and Withernsea. It was tiring playing 2 full games in a session. It was good to see the other groups.”

“Upon entering the steady school wear shop on saville street, we were openly greeted by Lois. What had started as a stressful morning finding my children’s school uniforms, Lois’ calm nature and welcoming smile was immediately reassuring. Lois was immensely helpful with everything that myself and my two children needed. Her knowledge of the school uniforms and systems was impeccable! What a delight it was to have Lois help us, and we left with everything that we needed, plus a lovely and friendly experience. Lois is an asset to steady school wear!”

“I don’t normally leave reviews for high street retail stores, as I feel they often get lost in the shuffle of large corporations. However, this review is a personal shout-out to one staff member who went above and beyond... Ethan! I hadn’t worn a suit in over five years and didn’t even own one that fit me. With a recent career change and upcoming interviews, I needed to look sharp and feel confident. From the moment I explained my situation, Ethan provided exceptional service. He took detailed measurements (chest, neck, waist), guided me through different fits to see what suited me best, and was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. My partner was also impressed by his attentiveness and natural rapport. When the store didn’t have the right style or colour in stock, he helped me navigate the online options and placed an order that matched my sizing perfectly. Despite multitasking, serving other customers, dressing mannequins, and working the tills he still gave me a solid 30 minutes of focused attention whilst keeping efficiency. I left spending £300 and plan to return over the next two months to purchase two more suits in different colours, each likely in the £200–£300 range. Ethan made me feel like I was being fitted on Savile Row, not just shopping at NEXT in Hull. His level of service is far above what you typically expect in a high street store. If I were running a customer-facing business, I’d hire him on the spot. That said, I have to mention a contrasting experience. While Ethan was helping me, another staff member, Jane, repeatedly interrupted him by shouting across the store to ask product questions. It was disruptive, especially as he was in the middle of processing an online order for me. It affected the flow of service not only for me but for other customers too. Ironically, Jane failed to close a sale on a product the customer was interested in, only for Ethan to step in afterward, offer insightful advice, and successfully complete the sale before the customer left. When I later went to the till to buy a tie and shoes, Jane served me. Unfortunately, her attitude was dismissive and unwelcoming. No greeting, no please or thank you, and an error in handling payment which she addressed rudely rather than politely. It stood in stark contrast to the outstanding experience I had just had with Ethan. While I understand that retail can be demanding and thankless at times, professionalism and basic courtesy should still be expected. Ethan’s exemplary conduct made these lapses by others more noticeable. To the store manager: Ethan is a true asset. I would strongly recommend leveraging his skills to help raise the overall standard of customer service in your team. Outstanding! Ethan, if you read this, and you ain't appreciated by the company and treat just like a number. Find a job in a more luxury upper class store, you will fit right in.”

“The Mrs.& myself both needed trainers plus the usual clothing for our days out running. Linda recommended JD sports, I usually shop elsewhere. Such a huge amount of trainers to choose from, we must of spent close to an hour trying different pairs. Kielan , the guy on the trainers department was a credit to the shop. Looking after 5/6 customer's continuously . Always happy to help. Brilliant service. Will continue to use the store & recommend to friends.”

“Been here a few times and loved it every time.”
