School values in Welling

“Two brilliant children all the way through from Reception & Infants at the adjoining Infants school to Yrs 3, 4, 5 & 6 at this excellent school, first now thriving at secondary. So good in fact, I volunteered as a Parent Governor 5 or more years ago to support it's great efforts in the community, and it's gone from strength to strength. Don't believe Ofsted, this is an OUTSTANDING school and no mistake. Don't believe me? Go in for a visit yourself.”

“Kindred Nursery has consistently exceeded my expectations in every way. My daughter is having an exceptional experience there. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and always receptive and supportive with all enquiries. She looks forward to going each morning, and I've noticed significant improvements in her education. I highly recommend Kindred Nursery for its excellent environment and dedicated team.”

“Incredible school, highest level of teaching, fulfilling community”

“Tucked away behind the highstreet, it's easy to miss if you don't know its location. That said, the facilities once you enter the building are very good, catering for all preschool children needs, with adequate staff onsite vs. Number of children ratio. Small secure outside play area on dry days. Pushchair undercover parking area and limited parking for parents that can get congested at times. Overall I well equipped nursery and attentive staff.”

“We cannot praise Brampton enough. All of the staff are incredibly enthusiastic and dedicated to their jobs, the school has a real community feel, and the parents association is fantastic. The school overcame the challenges of lockdown and home educating incredibly quickly, delivering effective learning remotely far sooner than other schools we know of. Brampton has invested in an impressive phonics program, Read Write Inc, and the use of ClassDojo and Microsoft Teams makes communication with the school incredibly easy. We truly believe that our daughter (yr 2) has had the best start to her academic life at BPA and are thrilled that our son has now started reception there too.”

“Went on the 06/01/21 and the security guard was so helpful. He was not only welcoming but took the time to sanitise the baskets for customers. He also made sure all customers put masks on correctly in the store. Great work, well done, 5 stars all the way”

“great size hall no issues at all with amazing access”

“Fantastic school, my kids love their teachers. Headteacher knows every child by name and greets them in front of school gate in the mornings. Keep up the great job!”

““Inspiring our children and community to be the very best that they can be!” As a Trustee I feel really privileged and proud to be involved in this journey. “Inclusive” is not only our name but core to everything we do to help our community fulfil the hopes and dreams of our children. Every day our 3 Watford primary schools – Beechfield, Cherry Tree and Laurance Haines work closely together to create great opportunities which inspire our pupils to learn and develop skills to adapt and succeed in our ever changing world. Each school is very much a part of the local community with its own distinct characteristics and curriculum –we don’t believe that one size fits all but a nurturing philosophy underlines everything we do. As part of a group of schools we provide opportunities for our children to participate and share in exciting projects across the schools – whether sporting, outdoors or creative - for example our art display in Watford Museum or the more recent song written and performed to celebrate and thank Covid-19 key workers. Supporting our people to succeed is a core belief and strength – we are lucky to include former pupils among our teaching staff! Working together enables the sharing and development of best practice whilst addressing workload too. Good career progression is available across the Trust schools. “if you want to go fast, go alone.

“Great and very well run kindergarten. The attention to detail and care of the key workers towards the children is exemplary.”

“My son loves Nursery Room. He was around 18 months when he started but he has grown fond of the environment and the staffs very quickly. Everyone is very friendly and they are also very accommodating to your needs too. Perfect setting for us on the way to Eastcote Primary Academy.”

“Taught me everything I know now and a safe environment for children. This place also has a outside gym for kids,a trim trail,a shed with hula hoops and other safe but fun equipment. Shawley also has a big playground and field. It has years from reception to year 6. There is a hall where you have assembly and food. The food is really good and nutritious. You have to pay for food but it is cheap. Thanks for reading”

“Gonville Academy, the school that has gone through generations of children, the school in which my older siblings (and me obviously) have spent 8 fun filled years in. This is the school, that helped me with MEH FLIPPIN MATHS problems, this is the school that helped me when I felt down. This is the school that you must surely sent your child to. I've recently left the 6th and final year and i can downright say, that this school, Gonville Academy is the best school ever. Not exaggerating here either. Hence, I give Gonville Academy a whopping 10/10 (or 5 stars because thats how we have to rate it here”

“Graham and Adam have been teaching our three girls from age 5 and they have gained so much strength and confidence from the club. Judo means ‘the gentle way’ and I think the team take a lovely, gentle approach with young children that makes it fun, good fitness and skilful.”

“With the COVID Period reaching it's peak, I decided to look into ways to get active again after having spent the better part of a year in isolation. SHENTIE has been amazing to that end. They have been incredibly helpful, with expert teachers that were able to appeal to the wide array of skill levels that we had in the club. Their service is excellent both in booking and in session, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. A great martial arts school that you can take with you forever.”

“I highly recommend it to any parent wanting to start their kids on a Martial arts path! Excellent place with amazing staff. My son loves and very much excited to go for his next lesson. It’s great seeing what they are achieving in each session.”

“Lovely school, great people to be around!”

“Wow! What a fabulous place! I went visited yesterday (15/06/13) to the for the first time; I was going to the Sports Complex for scuba club, but even though I was born and raised in Hertford, I had never seen the school before! I not only is the school and its grounds beautiful, I could feel the history too! Well worth a visit and take a camera too!!”

“We couldn’t be happier with Laurel way, a hidden gem in our community! The staff are highly skilled, incredibly kind and genuinely care for each individual child. They create such a warm, positive environment for learning, and it truly shows—our son has flourished since attending. We’re so grateful to have found such a nurturing place!”

“Lucia and her team go above and beyond in getting to understand the children's needs at Bright Horizons. I am always bowled over by their intuitive interactions with the children as well as one another. I have often arrived at a random time and the children across all three rooms are calm and happy. I feel this is a true indication of how well looked after they all are.”

“Nicest childrens centre in Islington, lovely people and great welcoming environment.”

“Very Intelligent and glad that she is using her gifts to help others.”

“The school is very good and stuff are very helpful”

“The best school for all county ♥️”

“We moved our daughter here from another nursery and the staff were very good during the change. She enjoys herself there and clearly likes being with the staff. They have also been very good on supporting with things like potty training.”

“Brilliant,loved every moment,and gave me the guidence needed to start working.al due to the Teaching Staff/Teachers,'59 thro 63!!!!”
