"“this school is atrocious"

“the school is atrocious. I’m honestly beyond fed up with the school. The staff are some of the most unprofessional, careless people I’ve ever had to deal with. They walk around like they’re running some top‑tier institution, when in reality, the quality of education and treatment at this school is absolutely disgraceful.

"Very impressed with the teaching"

“My daughter's just about to start Year 8 and I can't think of anything negative about the school. She's come on so much in the last year and is really happy there. Lovely teachers who are so encouraging and positive. She works hard but doesn't feel under any undue pressure.”

"Great great school"

“My daughter just finished successful GCSE's at Sydenham, its a great great school, fabulous care of precarious teen girls and they get really good results (its a proper comp school all ranges of ability). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, as would all the parents of girls that go or went there that I know, there is not a lot of negativity around the school. The communication is brilliant compared to other schools I have heard. (phone calls if homework missed, texts reminding you of exams or tests).”
