Hello everyone, I'm stuck between these 2 schools at the moment. I know both are good in their own way but I really need to hear lots more negative or positive feedback on them. I've visited both many times and like both nearly as equally but please anyone out there please share your thoughts with me. Thank you

This is our second year at Star and now moving to year 1. We are very happy. The management is great. Teachers are great. Star club is very convenient if you have two kids who are finishing school at different times. All the time they are improving things and parents are involved/informed at every stage of decision making. I love the fact that the management is not money minded like various other schools and unlike others, you are not asked to pay entire september term fee even before you finish the january term. plus they have moved already till year 8 so no need to find a secondary school after your child finishes primary.

They were already school staff and although they do an excellent job it's still not ideal... Well, what's ideal? Driving around, it would seem that many schools here have parking issues when it comes to drop-off and pick-up. That's just life. I wasn't complaining, I already said it's the only negative thing to be said about the school..

Another happy Safa parent. My daughter is in Year One and my son will start FS2 there in September. Very happy with them and many friends have also put their children into Safa. One of my friends has managed to get her two boys into Safa from another school she was very unhappy with and she is delighted. The school have hired car parking attendants for morning and afternoon drop-off/pick-up which is great as they are very efficient and makes the whole process painless and well organised.

We've been very happy with Star for a similar amount of time and DD is just about to move up to Y7. Both schools have great reputations though so I am sure you'll be happy whichever you choose. Thankyou :-))

We've been very happy at Safa for almost 3 years. The new premises haven't changed the feel of the school And now they are extending into secondary so we won't have to change at year 7.. The sandpit carpark can look offputting, and it is a royal nightmare at times but that would be the only negative thing I could say..
