The school focusses on allowing the children to make the best of their skills, whether that is academic, practical etc. The feel of the place is superb - fun and relaxed and a number of gap year studentds return to support the sports department in their gap year. The teachers are approachable and it's a great place to be. It is run with a chrustian tradition, but supports children from all faiths. It is known for it's particular excellence in rugby and cricket and hosts the National Schools Rugby festival each october. It really is a superb place for all.

We didn't choose this school - when we moved here mid-year it was the nearest one that had space…read morefor my children. I hoped for the best and that's what I got. The teaching has been great. Some things that weren't as good as they could be about my child's work (in maths for example) were brought to my attention so that I could work with the school to support my child. The fact that the school and parents worked together made it work. The children all have FUN. The school is a happy place. They own an allottment and they have some chickens. They have just had an extension built for drama and music which is something they shine at. The headmaster was teacher there before. He is always around to speak to and knows all the children and parents well. The 'lady in the office' is a real star too. The children say the school dinners are gorgeous. What's not to like? The only thing we didn't like was that it is a very long walk from home.

All the staff were dedicated to the learning of the children. There was quite a turnover of kids due to the army families but this didn't make a difference to the school on a whole. There is a couple of play areas and a big adventure play park which the classes used to take in turn to use. I spent quite a lot of time in school helping out on the PC's teaching the children how to log on to the Internet. The classes were not over sized at the time my children were here there was approximately 20-25 children in a class. Overall this is an excellent school that I would recommend to anyone.

A while ago, I treated a good friend of mine to a Trial Microlight Flight for his birthday. I got…read morekudos as he declared it the best birthday present he'd ever had! Living over in Suffolk at the time, I chose the Beccles Flying Club as it was handy to get to (albeit out in the sticks, but you know what I mean!). The tuition was totally one-to-one, the setting comfortable and down-to-earth and the staff simply couldn't have been more helpful. I sat on the ground and watched with heart-in-throat as the tiny little microlight took off and soared impossible high into the sky, and then veered off into the evening sun. There's not a chance in hell you'd have gotten me up in one of those things! But my mate was a more adventurous soul than I, and said it was utterly exhillarating from start to finish, wanted to do it again, wanted to buy his own microlight, etc and all the things that men decide when they're enamoured with a new 'rush' ^_~ So if you have someone with a spirit of adventure and who isn't scared of heights this is the sort of present that they'll simply never forget. Send them off, hand them your camera to take some cool ariel shots, and sit outside in the little clubhouse garden with a coffee and a good book until they buzz back down to earth!
