Hi


We are thinking we will probably send our little girl to SHS next year and were just interested, if any parents are on this forum, what they think of the school - we loved it when we went around - seemed lovely, a personal, friendly school, academic but not pushy. Thanks for your time if you do respond...

Our little girl started reception at shs this year. It wasn't our first choice, and we had some doubts. But she absolutely loves it, and is very happy when I pick her up, even after a long day. I haven't actually seen her so happy anywhere. She has in the short time there achieved two big milestones (for her) and has become much better behaved at home. She is pushed well within her capability, which i find really clever, as it makes her feel excited and empowered, not just overwhelmed. I was always impressed when looking around schools with how confident, happy, and independent the shs girls seemed, and how quiet and concentrated the reception children were there. I have been impressed with the teachers and structure of the school so far, and find it spatious, airy and light. I thought some other schools were really dark and chaotic in comparison. Also, there are only 10 girls in her class!

I like the idea of a man being head teacher in a girls school, primary education seems so dominated by women. I think he will make some positive changes and improvements to the school.

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor.

The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
