St Anselm's School
Catchment Area, Exam Results and Reviews

"> Our daughter spent her early school years( 1-5 )at Foremarke Dubai and we were keen for her to be educated at home in England. We looked at Millfield (too vast) and Foremarke / Repton however we we happily enticed to consider S.Anselms in Bakewell. We were very impressed by the headmaster and his team and particularly by the pastoral care provided however to cut a long story short we choose the school. Our daughter is now a very happy full time border and excelling at the school. We are very impressed and delighted she is so content . The school now extends up to A level which also means she can remain there if we wish. Excellent sport teams , hockey, netball , rugby sailing skiing etc. It also helps that it’s tucked away in a very beautiful part of the country yet only 30 miles from Manchester and 1.5 hours from London by train to Chesterfield which is nearby.

"> A superb school! Children are happy, learn well, and achieve excellent results. The staff know each individual, his or her strengths, weaknesses, and character. They are therefore able to get the very best from each. I've deducted one star, sadly, because the HM is a team games fanatic, and for the child who hates rugby the autumn term is a trial. Five times a week! Surely it should be possible to arrange another sport for the duffers?
