Praise from parents for Whitcliffe Mount

by Kath Pinnock on 12 July, 2011

Hundreds of parents and children flocked to Whitcliffe Mount’s Open Day last Saturday. The school was open from 9.30 in the morning and finally closed its doors 6 hours later.

The school hall was packed for each of 3 presentations which included an audio / visual.  This showed a successful school; judged by an Ofsted report in May that said it was a “Good and improving” school; and with a huge range of opportunities for children – many more than the majority of schools can offer.

Comments from parents included:

“I was very impressed with the commitment of the teachers, and how young they all seemed.”

“The children were smart and polite and were enthusiastic about the school.”

“I thought it would just be a walk round the building but there were teachers in every classroom and things for the children to do. Very impressive.”

“My mind was put to rest when I heard the head teacher say how many staff have been appointed from the Middle Schools.”

“There was a buzz everywhere I went. Everybody wanted to help.”

“I definitely want my son to go to WM now I have seen the school.”
