My son attended Nursery part time in the afternoons at this school. Miss Roberts was his class teacher and I have to say she has been the most wonderful teacher I have had the privilege to meet. Always welcoming with a smile on her face, and my son was very fond of her. He has grown so much in confidence and character since attending this school. He took part in many activities alongside the curriculum...

It is a great school with a warm, welcoming environment and a very diverse community. The teachers are friendly, nurturing, and genuinely caring.

Our school rankings are meticulously determined through a rigorous process:

Factor Selection: We choose relevant factors for the ranking, balancing statistical accuracy and practical relevance.
Data Evaluation: We assess data quality, ensuring it distinguishes schools and is accurate. Bayesian methods are used for user-generated data
Standardized Scores: Factors are converted into standardized scores (z-scores) for fair comparison among schools.
Weight Assignment: We assign weights to factors, preventing any single factor from overly influencing rankings. We consider user preferences and industry research.
Overall Score: Each school's overall score is calculated by applying weights to individual factor scores.
Data Completeness: Schools missing over 50% of data are excluded. Those with at least 50% data but lacking required factors get a grade but not a numerical ranking. Eligible schools have all factors and 500+ full-time undergraduates.
Ranking and Grades: Qualified schools are numerically ranked based on z-scores. Grades are assigned using the ordered z-scores, following a standard distribution.

This meticulous process ensures our rankings provide accurate and meaningful insights for your school choices.
