I didn&#8217;t see wizardry and Quidditch, but anything&#8217;s possible. I loved it.

Hi Sian, I&#8217;m sorry you have had a bad experience. I have passed on your comment to Reddam House. I&#8217;m sure they will resolve it for you. Rachel

Just stumbled across your ( well-written) review and really recognise my son’s school when reading it. There is an energy about this school and a drive to achieve the best that, I feel, is rare. Since he joined, my quiet, shy, non-sporty son has taken part in numerous competitions &#8211; academic and just for fun (at his request), asked to go to sports’ practice on a weekend, competed for the school with his mates, been on and supporting off the stage on a regular basis, shown an interest in subjects he used to shun and grown to be a strong-minded, happy individual. Every day I ask him which his favourite lesson was, on the way back from school, and he’s got several to chose from. I ask him which lessons he hasn’t enjoyed and the list is very short ( if there is one at all). He talks about his teachers positively and there seems to be a warm, friendly relationship between both parties. He’s got a good set of friends, male and female, whose interests are as diverse as his and is happy to go to school each day. I love that he feels able to be him &#8211; so important for the teenage years.

My grandchildren attend the school and I think your review is spot on. I love visiting, especially for the brilliant shows. Could not be better and they love it. The youngest calls it Hogwarts!

We went to visit the head and decided to apply for my son to enter the 6th form. Duly sent off £100 registration and heard nothing! The cheque was however cashed. Phoned on numerous occasions and was met with absolute rudeness. We didn&#8217;t receive one single communication. To send a child to such a school would be madness.
