    St Ambrose Preparatory School

    Closed

    “My son has finished his first year of reception and it’s been a good experience. Our hope was that he’d find a friendly and diverse environment where any learning needs could be quickly identified and addressed. Although our primary focus was an emphasis good pastoral care and holistic development versus pure academic targets, we’ve been happy to note that he performs well above a broad group of his peers in this aspect. He has been stretched in areas where he was strong and supported in those he currently struggled with. As a consequence, he no longer finds mathematics onerous and takes pleasure in demonstrating his skills. We look forward to his pursuing opportunities in music and on the sports field in the coming years. A welcome bonus has been making new friends with other parents from a wide range of backgrounds. Accepting that we may be biased given the wealth of excellent state primary schools in Trafford, overall our experience with the school has been a good one, supporting our choice for an independent school in general and St Ambrose in particular.”

    The Open University

    ★★★☆☆ 3.3
    Open

    “I have studied with OU as well as other universities for many years. I hold three degrees with OU and two with other universities. I can confidently say that the teaching I received was at least equal, if not superior to that of other 'brick & mortar' universities. Distance learning requires to be self-motivating and some discipline, but if that is present, then the help and advice given by OU's structured teaching is simply superb. I have sent queries to my tutor and got replies very quickly, often at weekends, sometimes near midnight. Similarly, the community of fellow students became life-long friends. If you are wondering whether to take a degree with OU I would say - go for it.”
