"> Both of my children attend Spinney Avenue and they enjoy it very much. I find the teachers to be engaging and approachable. Each pupil is known by all of the staff as this is such a small school. They have a great sense of community and are involved with the local church. Parent interaction is actively encouraged and they are happy for us to go in and listen to reading, help with PE etc. Spinney is a 'Thinking School' which teaches independent learning and shows pupils how to find information out themselves. This helps them to continue their learning journey for the rest of their lives. I have no qualms about recommending this school to anyone. It is small enough to feel personal but can hold it's own against bigger (more well-funded) schools. Here's another thing - so far, all of the head girls and boys at Ormiston Chadwick Academy have been Spinney kids... just sayin'!
