Brandlehow is an absolutely fantastic school - it is vibrant and full of happy, energetic children. The teachers are totally dedicated to their pupils, teaching them all sorts of advanced and unusual topics - the general knowledge is far beyond what I learned at the same age (and probably older) - for example, my daughter (4-5yrs) not only knows the names of the different types of cloud in the sky, what all the different organs in the body do (as well as where they are), but also all about carnivorous plants and the different religious festivals going on throughout the year. This is on top of reading and writing incredibly well for her age (they use the Jolly Phonics system, which is a lot of fun for the kids) and doing loads of exercise and different sports. I am extremely impressed with the school and its staff. If you're lucky enough to get a place here, I'm sure your child will thrive. It's a great place! read more
