Testimonials

“Parkgate has been everything we’ve looked for in a school and more… it sets exceptionally high standards in all aspects of school life, and at the same time does so with a very natural and wonderfully supportive learning environment.”

“To say the school punches above its weight is a huge understatement. My son is making fantastic progress and his teachers know the right balance of when to push him and when to just let him be a kid. Year on year his standardised tests are getting stronger and stronger – he started in a good position and we know he is making more progress than average year on year. Parkgate is the whole package – we have witnessed an impressive development in confidence, articulation and knowledge which grows every year. We genuinely credit Parkgate for this.”

“Mr Mckinlay is a great headteacher – very approachable for parents and children alike. I am amazed that he knows all the children by name, greets them every morning, and even reads with them often.”

“The Headmaster, Mr Mckinlay, genuinely cares. He is welcoming and greets the children (and parents) at school every single morning (the Principal and Deputy Head are often there, too). This informal interaction means we have a regular opportunity to connect and whenever I have raised an issue, no matter how small, Mr Mckinlay always remembers and addresses it quickly. His door is also open for longer and more formal discussions if ever needed, too.”
