All my brothers and sister went to this school from reception until year 6 so I have plenty of…read morestories and information about this school. It always has achieved well compared to other schools in the surrounding area with P.C.C. being the normal secondary school to attend which enables many people to keep friends for life. 2 of my best friends still, I met at Mile Oak. They do so much each year with some type of pantomime performance being the highlight. My brother was involved in the Pied Piper of Hamlet Performance whilst I was involved in Oliver and Joseph and the technicoloured dream coat. My mum has these videos now. The balanced teaching here which is in line with the curriculum gives young people a good chance to start their own path in life. I have ended up at university and am the 1st person in my family to do so. The school football team is always competing to win the leagues. Each year 2 of the best players are chosen to trial out for Brighton Schools Boys who play other counties.

I went to this school for secondary school and for college. In the early years I had a few fall…read moreouts with certain teachers as I was immature and didn't have enough respect for certain member of staff. However, later on during GCSE's, when I really needed help in my studies and personal life the very same teachers were the ones who were most approachable for help and support. I can not comment on all the staff but there are numerous teachers that have been there over 2 decades! I stayed on for college as the teachers I knew I would get I had a lot of respect for. With many courses for adults running in the evenings this is essential for the community and great if you want to do something different in the evenings and want to get some type of qualification.

The Adult education courses are worth a look cheaper than elsewhere…read more There is also a well run Sports hall and a Gym which if you want a Gym with decent supervision and safety plus longish opening hours might be worth a look. Its on the 1 bus route and the principal of the Adult Education bit is making a lot of progress after years of LEA neglect (fair comment). I went to Yoga class and its was staffed by an excellent teacher and the hall was fine, it did not have a swanky cafe but the course was good quality and the staff at the centre friendly. It is in a school but I say give it a try and they are trying to do things for the community. They have also taken over Foredown tower and that is set to become an activities centre for Education. All the political parties have done over the last twenty years is inflict their weird policies on Hove/Portslade either to chop the Carnegie funded library, make all the secondary schools sink schools or not provide enough primary places. The Ron Aldridge foundation have put money in and want whats best for the people and parents in Portslade/Hove not petty provincial failed politics. Worth a try for basic evening classes and basic fitness. 1 Bus or car its possible to park locally and maybe on site in the evenings. There is a bar (untested) for sports club members. The site also integrates the local branch library and there are plans to re-develop the school, which with better sports facilities should be a winner. Well done to the staff and principals!

Came to view this school this morning, as my little boy will be starting school in September, and…read morecouldn't have fallen more in love with it. The head guided us round and seemed Down to earth and lovely. He knew all the childrens names as we passed them and they all seemed very kind and confident. The thing I liked about the goals and ethics of it was that not only did it have great focus academically, but equally on how the children develop socially and individually. And how to care and communicate with others which I Think is just as important. It's a warm, inviting happy place Where kids can blossom as individuals as well as having the skills to work in groups and enjoy interacting and respecting others and the world around them.

I am a current student of BAST & cannot express how amazing the Group Sound Therapy Diploma course…read moreis. The content was delivered in an interesting varied way with plenty of practical time & Q&A sessions. The curriculum is deep & above any of my expectations. The tutors are so friendly patient & full of knowledge & a hug when needed. The coursework is presented in an easy to follow format with plenty of support if required. The help with buying instruments was very useful & nothing was to much trouble. I am looking forward to being part of a research project to advance Sound Therapy in the World & have already signed up for the next level of training to become a Practitioner. If I could give 10 I would

I'm currently studying with BAST and have nothing but good to things to say, it really surprised me…read morethat there is negative comments in the reviews. I would like to tell you about my experiences as a student and learning the BAST way. As sound therapy goes, there is a growing pond of training providers out there that teach sound therapy/ sound healing over a weekend. This is something that certainly cannot be done with a course of this nature. The BAST way is the the right way to teach sound therapy, not only are you learning to play new instruments that you would require in a sound therapy session you are learning the fundamentals as to why we play the instruments that way and the effects it has on the person recieving the treatment. The BAST team are so incredibly passionate about sound therapy and it being delivered safely and efficiently and that is why the training takes longer than a most. The course is value for money and not only gives you and week of intense learning, you have an online portal for all your learning materials and coursework submission. The teachers are always available via email and even phonecall if you feel you need further support. In my eyes The BAST way is the only way to learn sound therapy and so much research has been poured into the BAST methods, you only have to look online at some of the newspaper articles that BAST has been named in and how effective BAST method sound therapy is. Yes it is an investment to set up with all your Instruments, but for people wanting to do sound therapy professionally you have to expect to pay for quality instruments and the course is a quality course that offers you life time support in your business as a sound therapist. I would absolutely recommend The British association of sound therapy to anybody who is looking at training in the field.

The atmosphere is relaxed for a lot of the sessions you can just drop in (no need to pre-book). My particular favourite is the Thursday evening themed life drawing, run by the lovely Laura. There is a different theme each week, the set is dressed and the model has various props/accessories to match the theme.

But then I found Paul Jones at Brighton Driving lessons, and passed 1st time!!! Paul was very patient with me and always filled me with confidence.

Paul understood how important it was for me to pass and helped me achieve it. He was also very friendly and had a very warm personality. I would most definitely recommend him to everyone.
