In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, 94% of the 32 respondents said they would recommend the school. The feedback on specific areas was notably positive: 97% of parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy and feels safe, and the same proportion felt the school makes sure pupils are well behaved.
