Some of the positive comments we have received from parents and carers:

Celebration Evening  – November 2021

 

“Nursery was brilliant.”

 

“It was great to see our children's work, and to have the opportunity to see other classrooms.”

 

“They were really proud to show us round and had heard about things in other rooms that they wanted to try out. The school does a great job of making them want to show off their learning in a positive way.”

 

“Friendly environment, school looked great with artwork.”

 

“Fantastic displays in all the classrooms, lovely to see students so positive about their learning and proud of their work. Thank you to teachers and staff for giving up their time to run the evening, it was much appreciated.”

 

“Brilliant learning techniques and skills.”

 

“It was brilliant being able to see my son’s work and his classroom setting properly.”

 

“Was lovely to have the opportunity to look at the whole school, not just my children’s classrooms.”

 

“All fantastic.”

 

“It was lovely to see all of the work they have been doing. It was nice for the children to also see what classrooms they will be in next year and the work they will be doing, and feel excited for the following year. It was also lovely to have their teachers in the classrooms, welcoming everyone and discussing things with parents and children.”

 

“We enjoyed seeing our son’s work and his learning environment. He really enjoyed showing us around.”

 

“Great to see such wonderful work!”

 

“We were delighted that after over a year of being at Gade Valley our daughter was able to show us around. However she did want to show us the cafeteria which was just one thing she wasn’t happy about as it was closed! On the other hand we went into every class from reception to year 6 and I can honestly say we were shocked with the amazing displays, great class work, team work efforts and general state of the school. Well done Gade valley

 

The year 2 classroom was beautifully presented and every display was so lovely to look at.”

Parent comments from 2016/2017

 

Gade Valley continues to go from strength to strength.  The school has a lovely friendly helpful feeling about it, and my daughter loves coming here.

 

I really love this school and can't wait to go up to Year 6 and on!

 

Well done to all the staff for another successful year.  Credit to everyone for their hard work and open and supportive attitude to children and families.

 

We are so pleased with the education our son has received this year.  We couldn't have asked for a better start to his schooling.

 

Thank you to all the staff for being so wonderful.  Both my girls have gone from strength to strength. You have made some fantastic improvements over the last few years. Thank you.

 

Nursery - Thank you for all the help and hard work. My son has really enjoyed learning and playing and has come along very well.  He loves singing all the songs that help him with his phonics.  We look forward to learning along side the children in the Reception class next year. Thanks again to all at Gade Valley School.

I am really pleased that Gade Valley still has a swimming pool and the children have so much fun and importantly are learning a life lesson.  Children always seem very happy and content which does help with their learning – Thank you!

Receiving texts to tell us about positive things our children have been doing is brilliant.  Sometimes the children forget to tell us all the things they have been up to in school so the texts, newsletters and class updates are brilliant.  Well done!

We have seen positive changes in the school culture, and an improvement in educational focus over recent years – pupils seem to be more engaged in general, and the teaching staff seem to be challenging pupils more effectively (and to be enjoying their work more!).
