School in Richmond

“Great little theatre for intimate shows - lots of history”

“Such a wonderful nursery. The educators care so much and do such amazing work in all weathers. My children absolutely loved their holiday camps! It feels so good knowing my children are spending time outdoors. There's so much learning for children to get ready for school and life here”

“Our son has been at Kateys for 9 months now and we couldn't be happier. The staff are so welcoming and loving towards the children. The range of activities, play and learning they do is outstanding. Each day useful feedback is given and periodically more thorough feedback in the form of a learning journal and parents evenings. I'm always astonished by the range and depth of topics covered. The setting is excellent too with lots of outdoor space and nearby points of interest. Highly recommend.”

“I can't speak highly enough of Twickenham Park Nursery. Our 2 year old has been going there for 15 months now and we genuinely feel like we are handing her over each morning to another set of parents! The staff are all amazing and have worked at the nursery for a long time, led fantastically by the manager Guy who has been in charge for 18 years! We are friends with a lot of other parents at the nursery, and everyone speaks extremely highly of the care and attention their children are given. Every week or month we notice more things that our daughter has learned at nursery which always amazes us. I could not recommend the nursery more.”

“Staff is perfect, helpful especially teachers. My child was really happy and enjoyed while his nursery days.”

“Done the Phlebotomy training with Stefania. She was such a patient and knowledgeable teacher. The training was very interactive, educative, and insightful. I’d do more courses with the school owing to my experience so far.”

“What an impressive building in the middle of the Richmond park. Commissioned in 1725 as a hunting lodge for George I, White Lodge remains part of the Crown Estate to this day and partly housing the well known The Royal Ballet School. Here a little bit of a history: A misunderstood politician John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713–1792) was appointed Ranger of the Park by George III in 1761 and took up residence at White Lodge. In 1801, George III assigned White Lodge to Henry Addington (a middle-class Prime Minister), later Viscount Sidmouth, as a ‘grace and favour’ residence. Addington, who served as Prime Minister from 1801 to 1804, remained at the Lodge until his death in 1844. The Empress Elizabeth of Austria-Hungary (Sissi) (1837–1898) stayed at White Lodge for the hunting season in the summer of 1874. In 1881 Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry were guests, the famous Victorian actors, who had recently starred at the Lyceum Theatre as Hamlet and Ophelia in Shakespeare’s tragic play of Hamlet. In January 1912, the famous ballerina, Anna Pavlova, and her partner, Laurent Novikoff, performed at Richmond Theatre with the members of the Company of the Imperial Ballet, St Petersburg. Many decades later, students of The Royal Ballet School would follow in Pavlova’s footsteps, dancing each summer at Richmond Theatre during the 1970s and 1980s. On 13 August 1924, there was another royal birth at White Lodge. Prince Aleksander Pavlov Karadorevic was born to Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark and Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, in the same room as that in which Prince Edward of Wales had been born, 30 years earlier. The marriage of Mrs Reynolds Albertini and Colonel James Veitch of the Coldstream Guards was reported in the Evening News on 12 April 1950. They continued to occupy White Lodge after the war, and hosted Marshal Tito there when he came to England on a state visit, March 1953. The Foreign Office agreed to Tito’s entourage being 29 strong, but let only 12 reside with him at White Lodge. For security reasons, Tito was not accommodated in a London. During the Autumn Term of the new academic year 1955/6, the first cohort of students boarding at White Lodge had to travel to their daily lessons at the School's Colet Gardens site in Barons Court, as the Stable Block classrooms were not yet ready.”

“My kids attended Unicorn and loved every moment of it. It's a really special place. In particular, I like the relaxed, informal style where great academic outcomes come as a by-product of developing happy, confident and well-rounded children. If you want to play an active role in your child's development, this is the school for you.”

“One of the best schools in the country”

“We like this school. The wilderness and the canteen are just top. Of course the staff is excellent. My son is enjoying to attend it. Big thanks to everyone who works over there.”

“Both my two daughters attended this school It is an amazing school with amazing staff And I will be sending my third daughter here also.”

“I have two boys at Marshgate Primary School since Reception, now in Year 5 and Year 3. I am very happy with the school. The teachers are amazing, encouraging and providing extra support when needed and they try their best to boost children's confidence. They are always available for a chat. All support staff are great, from teaching assistants to office staff, always helpful and friendly. I also like the community spirit and all events PSA is working really hard to organise. I would recommend this school to anyone.”

“Fantastic school, does a good Job of teaching it's pupils I recommend this every parent”

“A school with a heart! Both of my children have been lucky enough to attend Holy Trinity. Excellent teachers, who go above and beyond. This year during homeschooling the online teaching was exceptional. My oldest has just left to attend secondary school and we feel she was really well prepared for the transition from primary school. I couldn’t recommend it enough!”

“Mona is lovely and she is amazing with kids. Our daughter had a wonderful party thanks to her!”

“A lovely nursery nestled in Kew. The teachers are amazing and supportive. My son is entering his second year here and has picked up and learnt something new each time I pick him up from nursery. A local treasure with great kids and parents from a professional background. A great base to leap frog your kids into reception and beyond.”

“Our kids attend this school every Saturdays for 3 hours and they’re very happy. Thanks a lot to all the teachers for being so organised and supportive. Also love their great curriculum and non-competitive learning style.”

“Wonderful to learn about all the art classes they hold. Pottery apparently is taught 6 days a week and still have a waiting list. I am very curious about the book binding. Just a wonderful school all around.”

“Best school if you want your child to have a great start in life - they give your child the life skills they need. My child was successful and happy there!”

“Always been a fabulous school. My 3 kids adore it - the teachers care and the facilities are wonderful.”

“Wonderful staff, very attentive and warm. Our little one loves them and has learned so much within a short period of time.”

“Teachers are amazing so kind and supportive it made me feel special and cared for. Help you with all kinds of difficulties in any dance.”
