It’s easy for us to tell you how wonderful we are and wax lyrical about our academic excellence, breadth of curricular and co-curricular opportunities and quality pastoral care…well, we would wouldn’t we?
But that’s not how we roll at Edge Grove. We think it’s better to let others do the talking. After all, they probably judge us just as you would on the things that really count.
Edge Grove has been recognised as fully compliant and ‘Excellent’ in all areas of provision, following our compliance and educational quality inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in February 2023.

“We absolutely love Edge Grove, have only excellent things to say about it and would be the first to recommend it to anyone. Both our children are so happy and thriving at school.”

“I can only thank you for everything you have done for our daughter, you have truly been wonderful.”

“For our daughter to have the resilience at such a young age to go to boarding school is in a large part due to the character-building efforts of the School. Likewise our son, transitioned seamlessly into boarding generally, due to the foundation provided by Edge Grove.”
Parent – April 2023
“Our daughter has grown so much in her time at Edge Grove and we are most grateful for all the help and support she has received to help her grow into a confident young lady and I believe that you have given her an excellent foundation for her to develop further at senior school.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the amazing eight years (Nursery to Year 6) that our daughter has enjoyed, the friends she has made and the confident person she has become. It’s truly an amazing school.”

“I wanted to say how wonderful the learning partner’s hour was with my son and Year 2 Cedar this morning. It was fabulous to see the class in action and Miss Chaplin keeping us all on time and in order with the bell. All of us drawing the bird together was amazing. Having had a very stressful work week so far, it was such a joy to see how brilliant and engaged and proud my son and all the kids were in showing off their achievements. It makes all the sacrifice worthwhile. I can see why my son loves going to school so much.”

“I wanted to write and say how wonderful this morning was! It was an absolute pleasure to sit with my son and have him explain his work to me, join in his class and see the dynamic and energy there is in his classroom. Miss Chaplin and Mrs Yacub have created an ideal environment for lifelong learners. They are a credit to the school and it is evident that the children are benefiting hugely from being in their classroom. Thank you so much for arranging this opportunity.”
Parent – March 2023
“Thank you so much for going over and beyond (always) to keep us informed of our son’s progress. We can really see that he is thriving and feel incredibly lucky that you are his teacher – he was matched so well! You absolutely understand how to get the best out of him and we are very grateful!
Our son’s, reading, handwriting, and knowledge is a credit to you and your teaching assistant (and of course the other teaching support). I know teaching can be such a tough (and thankless) job sometimes, but please note, you have a set of parents who really appreciate all the work you do. And the best thing is, he loves going into school everyday! Thanks once again.”
Parent – January 2023
“I just wanted to drop a quick note to say that I was so impressed and warmed by the little snapshot I got into Pre-School life. It feels like a real home and the children all seem so happy but they also all really know how to behave and what is expected of them but this feels really light and not heavy. I think this is really special and I know that lots of work will have gone into creating this calm yet joyful atmosphere.”
Parent – February 2023
“We wanted to write to say thank you for all the positive feedback on our daughter which we have been receiving from you and her teaching assistant. The commendations and golden moments have really boosted her confidence, both academically and socially, and we are always so pleased to hear how well she is doing. In the past our daughter has sometimes struggled to focus in class, so to hear that she has improved so much in this area is very reassuring. Part of it is probably natural maturity, but we do think that a significant part is the quality of the content and delivery of lessons.
We can see from all the posts on Google Classroom that the children are learning in really exciting and creative ways. Our daughter often talks about what she’s been learning and sometimes does her own little projects at home. We also love seeing her classmates’ personal achievements shared on Google Classroom.”

“Thanks so much for the absolutely beautiful event this evening. I am always bowled over by the care, time, creativity and skills of all the staff. Each station was so thoughtful and so fun. All the children at Edge Grove are so lucky to have such a dedicated team. As ever, it is lovely to have a sneak peek of my child with his little/big Edge Grove family and all of these connections and relationships that are just his. I also really enjoyed meeting some of the Reception team too.
I just wanted to reiterate how incredible the Pre-School teachers are – Miss Henwood, Miss Davies and their team put on a real spectacular evening yesterday at the Starry Night event. My child was very excited about this space theme and made his own papier-mâché space helmet with his grandad!”
Parent – February 2023
“First of all the assembly hall looked amazing and huge! At our school compared to Edge Grove, ours is a toddlers playhouse. Then I would like to say the teaching is amazing. It is so fast paced and explanatory. I understand everything so well and I can see everyone understands as well. This is by far the best experience I have had at a school. Everyone is also very friendly towards me. The atmosphere is also very nice and I am looking forward to break, at the time of writing this. Thank you very much for inviting me!”
