Community involvement in Harrow

“For any parent that is anxious about leaving their little one, I can assure you that your child is in good hands at Melrose Nursery. The staff are extremely bubbly and are always happy, understanding and caring. They are always happy to help. My son absolutely loves going to the nursery! They helped him achieve all of his age related targets. I am so happy we chose Melrose ❤️”

“went there as a child 86-92 loved it.. great school great area, lovely old building.”

“We are so far extremely pleased with the school. All the staff we came across have been very dedicated and professional; parents and kids are friendly and polite. The school has undergone complete refurbishment and the new buildings are great! Very spacious playground with good equipment and two entrances (one is close to West Harrow Station, which is great for commuting).”

“It's lovely junction where many things keep happening throughout the year!”

“Friendly and helpful staff and a great environment for pre-school children.”

“Really gd nursery both my boys went there one of mine is still there and he loves it I highly recommend this nursery”

“An excellent school. All my children and grandchildren had very happy primary school years.”

“My daughter benefited greatly from attending . She received personalised attention and her confidence was greatly improved as a result . Areas of concern were highlighted on a regular basis and the tutors worked closely with me to make sure she got the best out of the course . I would highly recommend not only for independent school entry but also for a strong academic foundation .”

“Green Lawn Montessori is outstanding. The teachers are so friendly and professional and have been so dedicated in helping my daughter settle in making it a really smooth transition. During the pandemic, the staff have shown that the health, safety, comfort and well being of all the children is paramount. I'm very impressed with the measures taken to ensure that staff and students remain safe and healthy. My daughter spent one year at GLM and her confidence and social skills grew no end. She followed the structured learning program and gained a wonderful basic knowledge of math, reading, writing, phonetic alphabet and geography. GLM also encouraged her creative side with singing, dancing, gym, drawing and painting activities. The artwork she brought home on a daily basis has made a wonderful display in our home. Would definitely recommend!”

“Lovely nursery. The staff are very friendly and it's an easy going environment. Both of my boys went here and have fond memories of it.”

“At the last Ofsted Inspection, the school was found to be outstanding in all areas. The Ofsted report says: "Behaviour is outstanding. Pupils are completely involved in their learning and enjoy being at school. They feel very safe and feel well looked after. They are always polite and respectful of each other."”

“I have started sending my son when he was 15 months old and the developments that I see in him since then is amazing. He can now sing rhymes, count numbers, identifies things and also picked some good habits like helping others, greeting people , tidying up his play room etc.Darshana and her team are very supportive, friendly and always willing to listen feedback. I strongly recommend this nursery if you are looking for a home like care for your child.”

“Fantastic leadership group and a lovely setting for children to learn.”

“FAST PACE.NOBODY SMILES IN THAT AREA”

“I used to come here a lot after school and I think that it’s a brilliant place! The prices are really good and they have a wide selection of stuff! The staff are really helpful and I think it’s honestly a great place.”

“As of writing this review, I'm a Year 12 student who's been in the school for almost six years, and I'm taking A-Levels in Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Computer Science and French. Thus, I feel I'm more experienced than most other reviewers to talk about the school. Firstly, let me say that this is no grammar or private school. Not everyone's parents have hundreds of thousands of pounds to send their children, and not everyone finds irrational joy in studying eight hours a day every day after school. Most people are just your average person, but for me, that's perfect. You'll get to know most of the people in your year, and perhaps in the years above and below you, too. Friendship groups form quickly and easily, and many are happy to accept other students. In the older years (Year 10 onwards), people start to socialise with others outside their friendship group, and I enjoy the social scene here. In my case, being able to talk to extremely talented people is an opportunity I wouldn't exchange for anything: I've grown attached to my friends as though they were family. And, while not everyone here is a four A*-type student, we certainly get those types: every year, we have students who get all A*s and go off to Oxford or Cambridge. If you aspire to be one of those students, don't write off Claremont just because you think you'll do better by going to another school! The teachers are also incredibly polite, for the most part. (Of course, there are teachers who the younger students would consider strict, but as you grow older, you'll see that it's just the different teaching personalities they adopt, and in reality, they aren't really that strict after all—your class were just really annoying!) They devote plenty of time and effort into ensuring every student succeeds academically and as a person. Their lessons are usually very well-planned, but their devotion to their students truly shines when one of them asks for help or discusses a topic with a teacher that they're both passionate about. This is especially helpful in the Sixth Form, where you'll often find yourself wanting to stimulate your own interest in the subject! Every week, we also hold competitions and clubs for all lower years, from sports to chess; we also have a few more unorthodox ones such as a cybersecurity/hacking club. The extracurricular scene is a bit lacking for the Sixth Form, though, but since you're allowed to leave when you don't have lessons, you probably won't need it. We have an active student body which includes a Prefect Team and a Student Voice, both of which allow students to suggest changes to improve the school. And while Claremont is by no means perfect, I thoroughly enjoy my time here, and I could not imagine having a better experience at any other school.”

“Our daughter has been going here for the last 4 years. It is wonderful to see her grow into a smart and confident girl. All the staff has been very helpful and want the children to prosper. Thank you Elmgrove family.”

“Wonderful nursery, staff are very patient caring and above all take feedback extremely well. They listen to any concerns you may have and are happy to do whatever they can to help your child and you have the best possible experience with them. They have an extremely flexible attitude and are beyond accommodating to ensure parents are happy with how their child is being cared for. Their primary focus is the child and honestly I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our daughter has just started and although she took a while to settle the process was fully child led and inturn our daughter has settled extremely well. Communication from the staff is fantastic always kept up to date on how our girl is doing. Very grateful for such an accommodating and supportive nursery. They put together lots of scheduled activities for the children regularly to enhance their learning in a safe and fun environment.”

“I go to this school it is so fun the whole KS2 got to try the new VR Headset!”

“Mr.Patadia is the best teacher ever!!!!!!! (this is jai) i am sooooo sad dat im leaving this year”

“Both my sons go here and I must say this is the best that could happen to my children. The teachers are not only highly qualified but they come with a lot of emotional intelligence and treat the kids the best way. The teachers' experience speaks volumes in how the children behave on and off school environments and I will recommend this school to every parent who want to give the best to their kids. Thank you Alpha Prep.”

“Great school. We did 6 school visits and Pinner Park was in our top list. They have books available everywhere in the school, their method of teaching cursive writing from the beginning was really helpful and teachers and head teacher are very friendly.”

“Is a great school with lovely staff and happy children who do well!”
