What do we think of our school?

These are just some of the comments we have received over the last few years.

We take this opportunity to thank you for keeping (our child) happy in your school for the last six months. She enjoyed her stay and improved her abilities in reading, writing and speaking English and other technical subjects tremendously. It is definitely due to your dedicated service to the children in your school.

Please may I take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for all your help enabling (our child) to attend clubs. The support you gave us really does demonstrate that the school provides the very best care for pupils are parents.

Silsoe Lower School, its staff and its ethos stand out like a shining beacon beacon in a very murky contemporary education scene, if I may say so. And once again I'd say that (our child's) mother and I are delighted with the school and the way the children are taught. Our (child) adores the school and its staff and positively looks forward to each school day.

Thank you for everything you have done for (our children) both as their teacher and now as the head. Thank you also for your valuable advice over the years both as teacher and parent - it has been very much appreciated. They have both had a great start in life and we will miss the safe nurturing environment of Silsoe that makes the school what it is. I will miss its friendly feel.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and all your staff for the wonderful education she has received throughout her time at Silsoe . . . I believe you should be proud of the nurturing approach fostered at Silsoe coupled with the ongoing values education which has definitely had a positive influence on (my child).
