What do our parents like about us?

We are always reaching out to our parents to ask them how we are doing.

We want to know what we are getting right and how we could be better.

Our ethos is that we are a 'family' and families are teams who support each other.

For more information about the above then please do read through our Parent Surveys and our SOAR Event feedback.

On this page, we are just going to celebrate why our parents think that we are great and what it is that we offer. We are really proud of these comments as our parents have truely captured what we work so hard to achieve.

Here is what our parents say about us:

"Kettleshulme is a place where children are really encouraged to be themselves, grow in confidence and spread their wings. There is such a strong commitment to enabling personal growth by tuning in to each child to find whatever it is that makes them tick or brings them joy, and using that to engage them. It's clear there is a strong culture that runs right the way through the school of nurturing and encouraging every child, not just academically but as a whole person." "Staff ooze enthusiasm and positivity which is infectious and makes each child feel special and seen by them."

"Treating the children as individuals, involving them in decision making and giving them opportunities to test themselves and shine."

"Barely a week goes by when there isn't an opportunity in the classroom or beyond to do something that supports social or emotional growth, whether that's singing, animal therapy or learning about democracy in action."

"Thank you for the care you have shown my children this year. You say they are resilient and well adjusted, but that's only because you control and nurture the environment around them so well."

"Kettleshulme is an amazing little school with a big heart and I’m so glad I found it for my child."

"I've been so touched by how accepted, supported and celebrated my son has been. After feeling a bit out of sync in his old school we've seen huge leaps in his confidence and skills and his general willingness to try new things since joining Kettleshulme. I'm struck by how much hard work must be going on behind the scenes to achieve this. It's not just a formula that works, but something done with a lot of heart, energy and good humour."

"Thank you for giving my child their wings to soar."

"You are all wonderful, caring and kind educators and you have created such a gorgeous school family. As I always say, I feel SO lucky to have you all to help raise our child! I can't see how anyone visiting your school can’t be blown way! You’re absolutely wonderful! 💕 I’ve never been in another school that I think has its priorities and heart in the right place like you guys do 🫶🏻" 

One of our pupils called us 'The School of Love' so their parent made us this wonderful poster that is attached to this page.
