What our parents say

I just wanted to thank you for all the help, support and encouragement you have given Paul as he completed his University Application. We are delighted that he received his offers so quickly for his course at Leeds University.

I just wanted to let you know how impressed I have been with the support the school has given to my son, James. I receive detailed feedback about what is going well for him, and what is not going so well. I, as a parent, have found this support invaluable.
