My son adores this school, and I am very appreciative of the assistance he receives.
In Epinay, my son is very content and at home.
He enjoys school so much that during breaks from classes, he literally counts down the days until he can go back.
With regards to my son's education and future plans, the staff is always positive, courteous, respectful, and extremely helpful.
As parents, we are also content, at ease, and reassured that our kid will flourish in this first-rate learning environment.
At a very special school, I recently had the most fantastic lunch (special mention to the chef).
The Epinay Business & Enterprise School is a fantastic facility in Jarrow.
Dianne gave us a first-rate tour during which we got to know the wonderful staff and kids.
The school genuinely cares about the needs of the students and works hard to make learning successful and fun for them.
I feel like I have a new child after watching how happy my son has been since starting school in September 2019.
Since moving to Epinay four years ago, my son has made great progress.
Although my child has just been attending the school since September, I have every confidence that they will satisfy his or her needs.
The week my son spent at Epinay has been incredible.
