The Voices of our Parents....

It is always difficult when sending your first child to their first school and wondering if it is the right decision. What helped me make that decision was the feeling I felt from everyone at Outwoods; a caring environment with every child at the heart. Crucially for me, I valued that the teachers value their relationships with their pupils and ultimately my child. I now have three children at Outwoods!    Mr A

 

Our daughter loves the varied challenges that the professional and friendly reception team prepare.  Coupled with the daily updates via Tapestry we can track her objectives and confidently develop her learning.  It’s been a pleasure to see how engaged and inspired she’s been in her first term at school, learning new skills and developing her reading and mathematics at an impressive pace.   Mr B

 

My son started in Reception at Outwoods last year.  The way he has grown, especially in confidence is fantastic. The teachers are brilliant; they make it such a fun learning experience.  Mrs M
