I am writing to tell you just how grateful we are to you and your staff that Sophie is getting on so well at Park Hill. Since she started in First Steps, we have seen her blossom at school and she has grown in confidence as well as showing great progress in reading, writing and numeracy. Thanks to the experienced and enthusiastic teaching staff at Park Hill and your commitment to the school, we can not imagine her having had such a good experience at any other school. In fact, we are so pleased that we are going to be sending our younger son to Park Hill next year as we would also like him to experience the wonderful benefits of being a Park Hill student.

I would like to take this opportunity to let you both know how touched Ieuan and I were at the contents of Ffion and Iestyn’s school reports this term.

Both reports were so thoughtfully written and perfectly captured what we know to be true about the children – they summed them up perfectly.

In particular, it is clear that Miss. Alexander has spent a considerable amount of time writing Iestyn’s report even though he is still in his nursery year - it was so comprehensive and well structured; we particularly loved the “quotes” from Iestyn.

It is so nice to get such positive feedback on their progress.

Thank you so much for all you and your staff have done for Isabel in her short time at Park Hill. Park Hill is such a lovely friendly school and the children are all so very happy. We will hold fond memories of Isabel's time here. Isabel has really enjoyed being a part of Park Hill and has made a lot of new friends. Once again thank you.

It goes to be the end of term again so quickly. As we all can see that Chloe has enjoyed another happy term in Park Hill. As a little Chinese girl from Shanghai who could not say a single word of English at the beginning, she has experienced a very important step in her first school year in Park Hill. It is obviously that she gained so much happiness, progress and self-confidence during that time. These are all because of you --- the teachers in Park Hill. As her parents, we would like to say thank you all very much for every effort you put on Chloe. Although she will go to reception in Coombe Hill Infant School from September. I'm sure that she will miss Park Hill very much just like she always mentions every Park Hill teacher she knows at home.

Thank you very much.

I thought I should let you know that Park Hill is obviously a very special school for producing future head girls. Dorothy’s just been voted Head Girl of Notre Dame for next year!!! Two siblings have never been head girls before so obviously it must be something to do with their start in life!

I feel that all my grandchildren have had a lovely start to their school career
at Park Hill. I'm convinced that small children should be in an environment, such as yours, which is a natural progression from home. I have written to Zac Goldsmith on this topic and regretted these juggernaut Primary Schools which are developing due to Kingston's poor planning. How can a child have any individuality in a year group of 120? How can they star in a play, as all yours do, and achieve the confidence which comes from having to perform in public? I wouldn't like to see any of my grandchildren in that situation. He has passed on my thought to Michael Gove.

Thanks for all your wonderful work with both Nick and Ellie during their years at Park Hill. They have both got so much from their time at your wonderful school and I will never forget you.

We sent our three daughters to Park Hill from Nursery through to Form 3. Park Hill gave the girls a first-rate education together with a thorough grounding in skills that would serve them for the rest of their lives. To say we were happy with Park Hill is an under-statement. On looking back we would not have changed any aspect of the girls' years at Park Hill. The girls all moved on to Kingston Grammar and then universities and have all done extremely well but they have NEVER forgotten where their start was and to this day still talk about their early teachers and experiences.

Park Hill is a very special place. I watched my daughter grow in a short time from a shy and nervous newcomer to confident public speaker, academic high-flyer and most importantly, happy, chatty child in just a few terms - and I am in no doubt where the encouragement came from. As a university lecturer, I know the demands of teaching very well, and I watched as each of my daughter's teachers brought out different strengths and challenged different weaknesses in her, and I will be forever grateful

Since the first day that we visited Park Hill it has felt like the right place to send our two daughters, Lily and Eleanor. We love the warm, almost villagey feel that comes with a small school and since our eldest daughter started our instincts have been proved right.

Park Hill really does have a warm, friendly and caring environment. The Head arranged for us to meet families and make new friends during the school holidays prior to joining the school. We believe this wonderful support enabled our daughter to very quickly settle into the school and immediately be able to focus on her academic studies

Both my girls now attend Park Hill and my husband and I have been very pleased with the school. There has not been one tear from my 2 year old (nearly 3 year old) when she started nursery this September. The welcome she got was fantastic. My 5 year old, now in year 1, enjoys school and is progressing very well.

We are delighted with the extraordinary care, attention to detail and level of service that Park Hill offers us and our 3 year old daughter. Being a working mother I am amazed at how accomodating, flexible and helpful all the staff are. The school has a warm and caring atmosphere and most importantly - our daughter is happy

How can we thank you enough for all the happy years we have all enjoyed at Park Hill. The school is an incredibly happy place to be while still being a place of learning. The children have loved their time at Park Hill and are very sad to be leaving. I have so enjoyed being involved with the school and I have made some lifelong friends and so leaving will be particularly painful. I congratulate you on what you and your staff have created and achieved at Park Hill and I wish you every blessing, wisdom and guidance for the future of the school. With our sincere thanks and may God bless you.

Just a brief update to let you know news of 2 of your past pupils. Whilst they have been away from Park Hill for some years Steve and I both felt they would never have achieved what they have without the grounding and the support they received from yourselves, so thank you
SM  

Just a quick note to say thank you for everything over the last four years. Through the good times and bad you have always reminded us that we have two very different but fantastic children! We are constantly stunned by our children's academic progress , but also feel very proud that they are a joy to be around. We feel that this is largely due to the strong moral and social principles that are such a large part of Park Hill and are very grateful for this start in their lives and school careers. We hope it is not goodbye but just farewell and plan to stay very much in touch. Many thanks once again for all your support.

Words simply cannot express or do justice to the enormous gratitude that we feel towards Park Hill School in all that has been done for Annabelle, Thomas and Louisa over the past seven years, and at such a crucial age. It has been an amazing educational experience for them and enhanced by many unique factors: the very personal touch, the kindness of all the staff which provides the very happy environment in which the skilful teaching provides an enriched education, the dedicated musicality which Annabelle, Thomas and Louisa have all loved, and the level of parental involvement on which I and my children have all thrived. We must also thank you personally for all your help, support and advice over the years and not least with regards to their next schools: a big step for which we feel they have been well prepared at Park Hill. We are all tremendously sad to be leaving the school, but we all have such fond and happy memories to treasure of the magical place that Park Hill is.
M & R Stoney  

We are so grateful for the warm and friendly re-introduction to the UK that you gave to Flossie and all the Tupper family. We will have very fond memories of her brief time at Park Hill. Thank you.
P & N T  

Thank you so much for taking such good care of Sophie. I know it is an exhausting trip. It was good to know she was in safe hands.
S Hey  

Thank you so much for yet another great year for Thomas and Louisa who have flourished. Thank you also for all your help and support throughout the year.
M & R Stoney  

Despite having another two years left at Park Hill, we felt we should write to express our gratitude for the education that Freddie has gained from his four years at Park Hill.

As we think of the tentative little boy who joined Nursery, I am amazed at the confident, articulate young man who leaves you, as he starts the next stage of his school life.

Park Hill has instilled in Freddie all the facets that we considered important at this age; manners, courtesy and consideration towards others. On top of these life skills which (hopefully!), he will carry with him forever, he has learnt to read fluently, developed pretty good handwriting, but most importantly the ability to think and learn for himself.

He leaves Park Hill fully furnished to flourish at Shrewsbury House.
G & S Harrison  

Thank you so much for all that you have done to make Kyle and Kira's experience at Park Hill such an enjoyable one. We will never forget Park Hill, or the lovely teachers, that help to make it such a wonderful school.

Happy childhood memories are extremely special and I treasure the fact that Ella will have Park Hill amongst hers. Thank you so much for all you have done.

We have been parents of Park Hill students for the past 4 years.
A key factor in sending our children there was our desire to give our children the best education and opportunities. I have always been impressed by how the school balances the children’s mixed abilities and are able to help them all maximise their strengths and address their weaknesses.
It was important to us that the school helped us prepare our children for their next adventure away from Park Hill. We viewed this as a partnership between us and the staff, looking to the school for guidance in selecting the right school. The staff at Park Hill have a huge knowledge about future schools, and see the children in the school environment on a daily basis so are an invaluable source of both advice and help. We felt that we were given plenty of support in making our decisions and that the children were well prepared for their assessments.
We have great admiration for the school and how they present a great all round education and our children have all been very happy during their time at Park Hill. We felt that our children were in the best place to maximise their potential to gain successful entry into our chosen school.
