Enthusiastic Parents' Review
Tree Sand, a satisfied parent, gave a glowing 5-star review to this primary school in the London Borough of Wandsworth and Fulham (LBWF). The reviewer highlights the school's excellent reputation, stating that it's undoubtedly the best primary school in the area. The catchment area is also commended, being a relatively small radius of about 10 roads, which allows for a strong sense of community among the children.
Grievances and Kudos
The reviewer does mention a few concerns, including the limited playground space before the recent extensions. However, they acknowledge that the school has always maintained a wonderful ethos, with many parents actively participating and taking on roles. This, combined with the "family atmosphere" that has been preserved over time, has made a lasting impression on the reviewer.
Contrasting Views
The reviewer takes issue with previous low ratings, urging those who have written them to reconsider as they may not be a fair reflection of the school. They share their own positive experience, having seen many familiar faces among the parents and staff, which reinforces their belief that the school is truly special.
