Sports activity location in Welling

“Wonderful school with supporting team and good education. Better place for achievements!”

“My son is currently in Year 9 and he is extremely happy in FGCS and doing well academically with great support from excellent staff and friendship groups. The results in this school speak for themselves...6th best in the country for GCSE results! and outstanding as well! Yes discipline is strict with one-hour detention for even being 1-minute late but detention is never during lessons, instead always after school or on a Saturday. I love that the school discipline system is so strict and consistent resulting in fewer children repeating poor behaviour and respecting staff more as they should be. An inspirational school which defies the assumption that schools have institutional Racism, with a very high percentage of SLT being from BME community, which represents the make-up of the school community hence encouraging children to aim/achieve high. Rarely see schools like FGCS with such a high number of BME staff at SLT level. Please look at their job vaccancy list, rarely jobs advertised because staff do not leave and are clearly happy there! Happy staff=Happy students! Well done FGCS keep on doing what your doing the formula works!”

“I love William Morris is the bestest sixth-form college ever of my entire life because I really enjoyed it last year.”

“Have been coming here for a swim for quite a some time and always been met with welcoming staff and friendly atmosphere. Centre itself could do with refreshing some facilities, but nothing too major to dislike. My only issue is occasional stench smell of sewage in swimming pool, but that was only a few occasions so far. Pool temperature is adequate, overall cleanliness is good for how many people pass through on daily basis. Will see what changes the new owner will bring, but have visited some of theirs leisure centres, hoping for good ones. Overall 5*”

“Beautiful experience in cinema Nice and clean all around Nearest eastern food court provided with plenty seating”

“Waddon leisure center near purely way. Hi my personal experience, as my son goes to swimming, among all the swim teacher. Jade is simply the professional swim teacher. Her caliber is simply brilliant. Kids love her. Including parents. Keep going girl. I guess her name is Correct”

“This is a PUBLIC PLACE! To have the amount of people they have coming through there each day and be able to maintain it to the ability they’re able to is very surprising! It is an extremely popular place and you have to take into consideration the social environment it’s in! I have moved over from David Lloyd and although it’s no David Lloyd (David Lloyd is the heaven of members club) it certainly does the trick! People on here complaining about skinny teenage boys in the gym… we have to start somewhere! I appreciate Everyone Active for helping me and adapting to my needs due to my epilepsy, Sometimes the staff are a bit on edge because they deal with lots of people every day be patient with them. They are good people just under a lot of stress so please remember that! (However I do believe they could Invest in some more professional cleaners) Thankyou!”

“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.”

“My child had a great start to education at this school. Loved the teachers and the people. My child has such great attitude to learning, thanks to the nurturing atmosphere experienced in early years.”

“Best school, Teachers very good at keeping friendships together and helping people with problems , nice rules, big free playground!”

“Great reformer classes and the teachers, Paula, Felicity and Heather are particularly good. If you want a challenge and technique/alignment then Paula’s class would be the ideal classes to go for. No one class is the same! Paula brings lots of humour to her classes to lighten the burn. The studio is clean, spacious and airy and there is free parking on-site.”

“I have been visiting the Cheam centre for the last 3 months as part of a group working on "Joint Pain Management" and have been extremely pleased with our health coach Steven who has provided me and the group, not only with excellent coaching to improve our fitness with the aim of reducing pain and becoming more active, it has also provided us with logical and much welcomed ideas to make small changes on our day to day activities that are really making a big difference to me and others on the group. The staff at the Cheam center I have met are also very welcoming and friendly and the various exercise machines I have used are very good and simple to use. Would strongly recommend the Cheam centre and Steven to anyone that wants to better manage their joint pain and to also become fitter and healthier.”

“Very caring school my children are so much happier since they have moved to this school”

“Brilliant staff excellent hotel manger checked us in, she is a credit to the company was very helpful and help us to find train station even printed of a map for us to get to our location in London”

“This one hundred million pound school has been given away to a Tory Donor, & the man responsible in the corrupt Tory Government for Academies.Lord Nash, in a fixed Ofsted/DoE theft of public assets. If this happened in the third world, Russia or the Middle East we would call it what it is CORRUPTION...”

“The gym staff here are outstanding. I would like to single out Ula in particular who, after I injured my knee, put me on a special programme. Weeks later I attended a physio at the hospital who said I was on the road to recovery. Full marks to her. Pity about the state of the pool.”

“Great School - Fantastic inclusion department”

“Reviewing the pool... It's an amazing facility... One of my favourite pools of London. Good temp, and often not too busy... Especially after you figure out when the lessons are on, which can take up two of the lanes (though swimming is to be encouraged, so carry on!) The changing rooms and showers are much cleaner of late as they have (finally) started policing the no shoes rule that previously was almost entirely ignored. Keep up the improvements Better, it's being noticed!”

“Circuit Training Fitness Class with Fabiana on Saturdays is extremely good! She is very professional, kind and supportive, and attentive! The circuit exercises are smart and good. Fabiana put efforts to explain it very well and with kindly manner which in my eyes makes it a good coaching. Also Strength Fitness Class with Albi on Sundays (he also works together with Fabiana on Saturday circuit often) is amazing. He is very kind and knowledgeable. I can approach him and ask any questions and he is so happy to demonstrate, support and teach with training techniques. I’ve already learned a lot because of his and Fabiana’s guidance. I love them! They connect and engage with people and that’s how it should be done. You actually leave the session knowing more and stronger. I recommend classes with them to everyone! Thank you ❤️”

“First time visit with granddaughter. Enjoyed the sauna and steam room. ladies shower was to hot and conversation in sauna was very loud hard to relax”

“I took my boy for the soft play session and he loved it, he didn’t want to leave, I wish I knew about this soft play earlier as it’s local & affordable price. There’s so much to keep little ones entertained.”

“I visit the leisure centre week days for a 6:30am class with Janie or Favour and have done for just over a year now. Classes are brilliant and so motivating! Bootcamp, circuits, body conditioning and cycle to name a few. The new facilities are great and it’s perfect for getting it done early. Janie is just amazing! I have Janie to thank for my love of exercise, she is so easy going, friendly and encouraging. Exactly what you need at that time in the morning. Favour is also amazing, he really pushes you out of your comfort zone and makes classes enjoyable.”

“Great for the Heathrow Terminal 5 and for a night before early flight. The hotel is old. But the rooms are clean. People who work here are super friendly and professional, helpful. They helped me and answered ALL my questions. Respect for that! Unfortunately I had neighbours in the corridor who did not give a sh*t about other guests and we're banging doors all night. It's not the hotel fault, so have earplugs just in case. The BEST PART is travel on the POD to LHR terminal 5 at 5am for only 8.25£. 7 minutes and I was at the terninal. Beautiful!!! And the room price was very good for being that close to the airpot.”
