“My son was only at Rising Stars for 8 months after his previous nursery closed suddenly, however, during this time he formed strong bonds with his peers and staff and was sad to leave to start school. The Rising Stars team are so friendly and caring. There is a real family vibe to the nursery. They always go the extra mile in terms of events and activities, and ensure parents are kept updated via Tapestry and monthly newsletters. I can’t recommend Rising Stars highly enough - the only downside is that we didn’t start there sooner!!”

“I’ve been training at Allstar on-and-off for over 6 years, and have enjoyed every single session. Sevda and Ian are extremely talented martial artists and excellent instructors, and work hard to foster a friendly and supportive environment at the academy. It’s without a doubt the most welcoming club I’ve trained at, which is ideal for beginners but also good for more experienced students to safely develop their skills with like-minded people. Allstar has helped me to greatly improve my kickboxing skills, as well as my overall fitness & conditioning, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommended it to anyone with even a passing interest in martial arts.”

“Beautiful school! Went for a concert ran by the music department. The staff were very kind to the adults and children with disabilities invited to the event”

“IMPRESSIVE A LEVEL RESULTS 2019 There were lots smiling faces today at Bancroft’s this morning. After the long 6 weeks wait for this year’s A Level results. We are delighted to report that 65.8% of all A levels taken were graded at either A* or A grade with 85.2% of them at grades A*, A or B. All eleven of the students who held offers from either Oxford or Cambridge have had their places confirmed, with the majority of other pupils achieving the necessary grades for their first choice universities. The main feeling amongst the pupils seemed to be relief that the stress had come to an end and that they can now get on with their summer and their futures. Theva said “I’m just glad it is all over, I can relax now.” Joseph offered some advice for next year’s cohort, “Do something the day before – just take your mind off things. And stay off social media, there are too many rumours about grade boundaries!” Many pupils did better than they had expected; Eloise was celebrating her 3 A*s and place at Bristol, “I’m really shocked. I was busy looking up clearing yesterday and I thought I had been given the wrong results envelope this morning.” Tom shared her joy, “I’ve done way better than I thought. I honestly thought I had failed and didn’t expect to do this well (A*, A, A) so I’m taking up my place for English and History at Sheffield. Caroline said that she resorted to watching Netflix throughout the night as she couldn’t sleep; her fears were unfounded as she achieved the grades needed for her International Business with French degree in Edinburgh. Head Simon Marshall said, “We’d like to congratulate our leavers of 2019 who have achieved impressive results this year. The new reformed, linear A Levels aim to be demanding and challenging, and we are delighted that so many of our leavers have done so well and have obtained places at their chosen universities.”

“To whom it may concern I don’t normally send emails like this but a group of school children from Ray Lodge Primary School got on my tube carriage yesterday on my daily commute into London. Normally the whole carriage sighs (as they do not want to hear (or see) school children in the morning but this group was very different. They sat quietly and read their books and were simply the best behaved children I have ever seen. I know someone else commented on the tube too to the teacher in charge. I have lived in Woodford for over 20 years and actually sent my daughter to Churchfields school but having seen those children yesterday I would have certainly reconsidered that choice now. Whoever the teacher was that was in charge of them was brilliant, she completely had all those children under control at all times. Kind regards Jenny”

“My two girls currently 5 and 3 absolutely LOVE ASPA and Miss Alex. Highly recommend it for your children. A mix of dance styles and the shows are AMAZING!”

“We had 1:1 lessons for me and my partners first dance and we couldn’t be happier. They were so patient with us and set real expectations from the start - and made sure there was plenty of time! Thanks to them we had the wedding we have always wanted. Couldn’t recommend them about!”
