Thank you for giving me the chance and assisting with the planning; I had a great day yesterday and truly liked working with the students and staff at St. Philip's.
It was a pleasure working with the students, who were all an honour to the school.
The concept of active learning was thoroughly adopted by your Y5 and Y6 students.
St. Philips is a great school that provides for its students well.
I just wanted to express how impressed I was with the kids on the Bikeability course in terms of their conduct and attitude toward responsibility.
It was a pleasure to educate them, and I sincerely hope that some of them would consider cycling as a pastime or possibly a mode of transportation in the future.
The school has advanced significantly.
The instruction has become much better.
I believe that the unique attention and consideration given to each individual child has done a remarkable job of improving education as a whole.
My opinion is that this is a good school, and my child enjoys going there.
The staff and the instruction are both excellent at the school.
I believe the faculty at the school is very supportive, and they keep me up to date on my child's academic development.
With the new head teacher, the school has improved greatly, and I am very satisfied with it. Everything is great, and parents and staff can reach out to one another at any time.
I'm pleased with all the modifications made to the school and the teaching; it's much better now than it was before.
Every week, I receive comments on the school in newsletters and any other information we need to be aware of regarding changes.
I believe the school has greatly improved and is extremely good.
Parents and teachers have far greater communication than before, and you can communicate to them whenever you want.
The teacher-student relationship is the school's best feature.
The fact that the head teacher is waiting at the door for the students is really inspiring.
I am very pleased about how the changes are made about this school since the new head teacher has arrived there has been many changes in the school and the way the teaching is done very happy with the school and the changes.
I would like to say how the school has improved in so many ways how the teaching has improved in many different aspects.
since the new head teacher has come the school has become very friendly and you can talk about anything without any fear.
