Finlay Community School

Both my sons attend this school and I’m really impressed. Almost 2 years ago we moved up from London and I wanted to get my sons into this school as I’ve heard lots of good things about it. I went into reception with my boys and talked to Debbie and asked her if there were any spaces left fir my kids. She took me down to meet some of the teachers and one of the teachers said there was spaces left. This was a huge relief for me. I signed them both up there and then and even bought their uniforms etcVery friendly and approachable staff. Both my sons have come on so well and made lots of new friends. Their teachers are amazing and great with communication.

All my children have attended this school. The staff are amazing and my kids love going to school here

I go to school here and it is absolutely amazing!

Gosh we haven’t even started here til septStill at preschoolReceptionist has a terrible attitudeI’m 4 mins early before bellI ask if they can take my child in (I have an emergency but she was so full of attitude and didn’t even ask )Tells me no , doesn’t even acknowledge my daughter may I add is a beautiful shade of brownTells me to walk her around the outside which would take 6-7mins and the gate locks in 4 ?I tell her not to be so awkward she slams the glas huffs and rolls her eyesAnother mum comes. In white child blonde curly hairAnd right away it hello sweetheartI will walk you in I am going that way anywayShe comes out the doorLooks at the white child and says come on sweetheartThen looks at us after who were there first with disgust and says to MY childCome on then in a totally different toneI told her how she received my daughter differentlyAnd I left I’m sure she said more than enough about me when I leftI am really concerned leaving my child here in September and will be viewing very closely that she is equally included and spoken to the same way as the other girlsNot just cuz she looks differentAnd they always play the I ain’t racist cardBut your eyes.Your faceYour demeanourYour vibeYour spirit screams it allEeeww I was literally disgusted.

We love printing hoodies for the Finlay School! Great Teachers to work with!

My son goes here for Preschool. It breaks my heart that due to the amount of siblings starting reception next year it's extremely unlikely he will get the chance to stay. But marvellous teachers. He's been there 3 months, his vocabulary has more than doubled, his phonics and reading has gone from zero to a great start, and he can now count to 21- he's only 3 and a half. Excellent progress as a result of excellent teaching. He's had some refusing to share" issues as a result of being an only child and the teachers quickly developed a programme specially for him to focus on those needs with my inclusion. If we don't get to return in September I'll be devastated but always grateful for what they've done for my sonAlso the nativity play was just about the best thing I've ever witnessed"
