Muddy Stilettos celebrates our "wonderful family feel"

Tue 10 Feb 2026

We're thrilled to be featured in the Muddy Stilettos Best Schools Guide! Our latest review truly captures what makes The ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ special, our "wonderful family feel" and the rich tapestry of opportunities that give every child "the confidence to explore, the space to grow, and the encouragement to be their best selves."

Here are some moments from the review that made us particularly proud:

"The sense of community at The ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ is huge – and strong pastoral care is very much part of its DNA. It has a wonderful family feel and it is clear that each teacher knows the pupils as individuals."

"Children spend as much time outdoors as possible, learning in the open air, climbing trees, or charging across fields at breaktime. It's an environment where children are free to be children, and where being outside is simply part of everyday life."

"The house system plays a big role in reinforcing that community feel, creating friendships across year groups and encouraging older pupils to look out for the younger ones. Upper School pupils are so keen to help out in the Nursery during their breaktimes, there has to be a strict rota!"

"As with everything ºìÐÓÊÓÆµ, the breadth of sporting opportunities is incredible. It's all about giving things a go and discovering each child's passion."

"The Nursery is a glorious space for little ones made up of four classrooms – big and airy with calm, neutral tones, flowing out to a secure outdoor playground. It's literally a child's perfect playground with a bike track for scooters, climbing equipment and a storytelling throne."

"And a final, telling detail: every morning, members of the senior leadership team are at the school gates, greeting pupils. It's a small thing – but it says a lot."
