    “We joined PGP two years ago when our eldest started in Y3, moving from the state sector, and we loved it so much we moved our younger son in Y2 last year rather than wait another year. We looked at numerous local private schools and felt that this hidden gem was ideal for our sons. It’s rigorous enough to satisfy our learning expectations without creating a stressful environment for the boys. The small class sizes mean teachers can really get to know their students and, in turn, children feel nurtured and valued. With subjects, such as English and Maths, streamed in KS2 so that the children are in even smaller groups, so much more, effective, learning is possible without a noisy environment to contend against. Given its size all the children and teachers know each other and there really is a great community feel when one attends assemblies or performances. We have been nothing but impressed by the school, this ranges from admin staff to teachers. There is a constant “can do” positive attitude that permeates it’s culture and I have found that there is clear and prompt communication between the school and parents. For example, pre-Corona, parents were allowed to come in on Friday mornings, during registration, to look through their children’s books and teachers are happy to give feedback/ suggestions throughout the term so the first you hear about any issues will not be at parents’ evening. We were particularly blown away by the way in which the school responded and adapted to the pressures put upon it as a result of Covid-19, especially when compared against other private schools offering nothing near the level we enjoyed. What a rollercoaster of a first year for the Head, Mr Faulkner! Hats off to him and all the amazing teachers! Teaching continued throughout the period, using a variety of IT based resources. Every teacher I saw or heard on Zoom, whether form teachers or specialist, were exemplary in their interactions with the children. As we all now know it’s exhausting to hold meetings on Zoom but they were faultless in the way they taught the children and never revealed exhaustion or stress. PGP responded quickly to parents’ concerns and were open to adapting to suit particular classes. The traditional curriculum continued as did additional subjects, such as art, music and PE which all help round and balance the children and remind them that normally learning is in all areas and there was no reason not to continue in this way. They even continued with assemblies and weekly merit certificates to keep up the whole school morale. I was also impressed that they maintained their pastoral role, ensuring that children’s mental health wasn’t ignored. I see that they will be holding mindfulness sessions in the Autumn term. As with other private schools they offer great pre and post school clubs as well as additional lessons, such as music and LAMDA, that are organised through the day. We can only go on our experience but we would certainly recommend checking it out and hopefully you’ll be as impressed as we were!”

    “As a pupil from 1936-40 it was as a junior. The headmistress was Miss Yoemans, and during the spring/summer, some classes were in big 'tents' at the rear of the school buildings. After 1939 there was an air raid shelter built of brick, and when the Air Raid siren went, we spent our time in the shelter - and as 'therapy' even us boys were given the task of knitting!! until the All Clear siren sounded. I re-visited the school in 1997, and apart from there no longer being the classroom tents, it seemd that time had stood still. It is that kind of school, and it felt great just to be there again after such a long time.”
