Gen & Olly | Parent

"My first impression of the school was of the brilliant reception staff who, though clearly very busy, were as welcoming as they were efficient."

Mr Murray | School visitor

Your children were all highly engaged in every type of play and bursting with sheer joy and happiness. I had wanted to see an Opal school play ground in action, as I've seen and shown many video clips to my school team and our school council but to stand and watch your children in action was amazing. There were so many children completely oblivious to us as visitors because of how engrossed they were in their learning. The way you have used your grounds and the set up was much more than I expected.

The children who attended the Torquay United match are a credit to your school the way they behaved. They didn't stop singing despite the bad weather!

Jo Harris | Community Officer at Torquay United

"The children who came to work with our residents were very respectful. The residents enjoyed celebrating the King's Coronation with them."

"It was great to see how much thought had been put into the facilities and their use. From outdoor teaching areas for early years pupils, to specific playground features such as large tyres which were there to replicate outdoor play more typical of the pre-digital era; everything was aimed at enriching the pupil experience."
