Westholme School - What People Say

What People Say

In November 2009, we held a series of Parental Discussion Groups for parents of all of our school sites. Over 80 parents took part in the discussions and the feedback was very positive. The Governors are pleased to have an action plan and a summary can be downloaded by clicking on the link below.

We also conducted a full cross-School questionnaire, available on line or paper copy in April 2011. The results were very positive and can be downloaded here: Parental Questionnaire Satisfaction Survey 2011

Here are some of comments we have received from the parents of Junior School girls about their daughters' time at Beardwood Bank.

"Both Miss Strickland and Miss Lomax have quite literally had a transformational effect on my daughter. They have helped her develop her confidence, self-belief and self-esteem which has enabled her to excel academically".

"We have had a fantastic year as parents at Beardwood Bank. The contrast and effort from you and your staff just shines through. Ourselves and our daughter will always be grateful. Your school is happy and will leave us with very good memories".

"My daughter has had a wonderful time over the past four years at Beardwood Bank, and has made big strides forward in confidence and level of work, as well as becoming more independent. This progress will stand her in good stead at Wilmar Lodge and she is really looking forward to going there. You lead an excellent team of inspirational teachers, who are dedicated, innovative, caring anf highly competent".

"My daughter has enjoyed her time at Beardwood Bank immensely and she has developed not just in terms of academia, but also in her confidence and social skills".

"It was a big decision to move our daughter out of her local primary school and put her on a coach every day to travel the long distance to your school, and we spent a long time wondering whether it would be the right thing to do. Our only regret is that we did not do it sooner".

"Thank you for preparing our daughter so well for the next stage of her life".

"My daughter will be very sad to leave Beardwood Bank as she has had four fantastic years. However, Year 6 has really been the icing on the cake particularly since she has been a Prefect and shared a number of sporting triumphs".

"Over the years Eleanor has gone into school every day full of enthusiasm for what the day would bring because the previous one had been so good. As parents we could not have asked for more. It was so satisfying to see how happy she was thriving in such a warm, friendly and supportive atmosphere".

"At Beardwood Bank there is always something to look forward to".

"We have nothing but brimming pride for our daughter and all she has achieved in the caring, supportive, family type atmosphere that exists at Westholme. Our younger daughter is counting down the days to when she can come to Beardwood Bank to do all the funky stuff her sister has done this last year!"
