My daughter is now in Year 4 and she absolutely loves school! I am so happy with her progress, and I’m really impressed with the range of activities on offer. The caring, family feel of the school is one of its greatest assets.
My boys really enjoy school; they have great friends and a good relationship with the staff. I’ve been very impressed with the sports activities they get involved in with other Rushcliffe schools.
