“The residential trips are fantastic — full of adventure, teamwork, trust-building, leadership and independence. My son came home from Wales with a real spark — something had shifted in him.”
“We saw such a difference in our daughter when she joined The Old School Henstead, having spent two years in our local primary school. She grew so much in confidence, both with her academic studies and in sport and music.”
“Our children are so happy at Henstead; they always want to come to school and are smiling both at drop off and pick-up. Can’t ask for more than that!”
“I have no doubt the children have met friends for life at Henstead, as have we, the parents. It really is a unique family, which not only wants the best for our children, but also instills the real-life values of teamwork, support and confidence.”
“Being a relatively small school, all the children are included in everything, from sports teams to the choir to school plays. Without the pupils even realizing it, this ensures that those who are less able in an area can develop their skills, those who are less confident become more so and, most importantly, all the pupils learn about teamwork and the importance of supporting each other.”
“A small school with a huge beating heart.”
“Exceptional teaching standards and a wealth of opportunities across the whole academic, arts and sports spectrum have given my children the confidence, assertiveness and independence for a solid foundation in their education.”
“A small, friendly environment which gives the children opportunities to get involved in all aspects of school life.”
“My son’s confidence has increased since being at The Old School Henstead. From a child who would shy away from new experiences to one who will try everything put before him.”
“We are delighted to have chosen The Old School Henstead. It is wonderful to see our son look forward to school with such enthusiasm every day and to watch him thriving in a positive and encouraging environment.”
“A real strength of the school is the inspiring staff whose dedication is reflected in such highly motivated and well-rounded children.”
