Clarendon Cottage Preparatory School

My child attends this school and is very happy here, the teaching is great and there is a real family feel to the place. We chose it partly for the great wrap around care the school also provides.

Clarendon cottage is an extremely good school if your child is a candidate for a private school. The teaching staff are friendly and approachable but this school doesn't cater for special needs. We were told by this school and the previouse that our son had behavioral problems and it was highly likely that he had adhd.After an assessment (after he left here) we were told it probably wasn't adhd but autism. We moved him to a public school after he was expelled in July last year giving us a week before the end of the school year to find another school. We managed to find a very good school where he has been accepted for who he is and has since come on leaps and bounds. Clarendon decided to kep him out of lessons which put him seriously behind because they didn't have the knowledge or staff to deal with his needs. Think twice before you look at a private school if your child has special needs as most of them don't cater for them.

Never visited but looks absolutely lovely
