If I could leave 0 stars I would. Shocking standards of care…read more I have waited a while to leave a review. My child attended the nursery at this school in 2019 and I also had an older child in PP2. I have now taken them both out of this school and have sent them to Alpha prep (where I couldn't be happier with). My child was in nappies when she first started attending the nursery, which they were not happy with. I was in the process of potty training her but she was finding this difficult to get the hang of. I was then shocked to find changes of clothes in her bag when she was coming home from nursery. The staff would remove her nappy when entering the nursery and expect her to know how to use the toilet. Absolutely shocking way to treat my child. I would never recommend any child to be sent here, especially not for a private school fee.

Throughout this time my experience has been positive and I have nothing but praise for the school. The teachers are genuinely concerned for the learning potential and welfare of the children and seem able to stretch the more able children while helping those who might fall behind. The amount of extra curricular activities and diverse school trips is amazing and really expands the children's horizons. Discipline seems to be taken very seriously and there have never seemed to be any issues about behaviour. The school is a real community school that has an incredibly welcoming atmosphere, to children and parents alike. My youngest child is still in the Nursery and I'm waiting to hear if she has a place in Reception, if she hasn't I will be devastated as I can't imagine a better school, and it has become part of our lives over the last 8 years!

Hampton Hill Junior School is a large (360 pupils) junior school nestled on St James' Avenue not…read morefar from Hampton Hill High Street. It is housed in a rather picturesque building dating from the 1920s, though it has been expanded and improved since. Hampton Hill Junior School educates pupils from years 3 - 6 (ages 7 - 11), and is linked with Carlisle Infant School (meaning that in most cases, pupils will finish Carlisle in year 2 and progress fairly seamlessly with their classmates into HHJS). The headteacher, Bill Jerman, is excellent. He is a strong leader, taking no guff from the children! He impressed me particularly when my daughter attended. I was writing a paper (I was a mature student doing a part time degree) on religious education and collective worship, and asked, after a parent teacher evening, if I could attend a 'normal' (as opposed to harvest) assembly. He told me I could, and we arranged a date. It occurred to me afterwards that I hadn't told him who I was. I arrived on the appointed day, worried that no-one would be expecting me, but sure enough, he greeted me, got me settled before the children arrived, and then discussed the yearly assembly programme and RE scheme of work after the assembly. My daughter had good teachers with a couple of truly excellent ones. The school runs extension programmes for gifted children which benefited my daughter, and also taught French (in a fun, non pressurised way) to its year 6 pupils. All in all, this is a very good state junior school, which prepares its pupils admirably for secondary school and beyond.

We have friends at all the local schools in Putney and as far as I can see the level of teaching at Hotham is as good, if not better (as very few Hotham children are tutored). An added bonus is that children will start secondary school with a very good understanding of French. There is an active PTA who put on well organised fundraising events for the school and there are lots of opportunities to learn musical instruments and go on PLG trips.

The other review must have caught them on a bad day because I find the administrative staff very kind and pleasant! The school really nurtures kids while encouraging them to grow and learn. They help everyone to learn no matter what your level. It is also one of the very few schools that represents the whole community of this area. Listen to the review of the person who knows! The teachers are also excellent. I have never had any problems that they haven't resolved! Try it! You will like it.

Now I see maybe "why". I had an appointment to visit this place and I was late 15 minutes. The two ladies at the reception, were anything but polite. They didn't ask me the reason I was late - they didn't care and they also lied to me by telling me that two other visitors who had the same time with me appointment , had already seen the place. And I m telling they lied because the visitor's book was wide open in front of me and the last person who visited the place was at least two hours earlier than my appointment. Also no one came out of the building the whole time I was there. Furthermore the one that opened the front door wasn't told me to come in ( I had with me the pram ) only when I asked if I could have another appointment. She saw her computer and she made a note of the new appointment by telling me " you will be here?".......!!!!!!!!! " no, i won' t !"

The best way to know is to simply ask parents of children who go there- if you are interested i recommend to talk to parents - you will simply discover what a wonderful school this is.

My little brother went to this school and as I used to collect him at least once a week, went to…read moreschool plays and helped out on a cinema trip, I feel qualified to say how lovely it is. I always hated my schools, but my little brother was very happy at this one. Although it is Church of England, the children are taught about different religions from the start, and the pupils are from a big mix of countries, cultures and backgrounds. The only drawback is the lack of space. It is a small, friendly school with a family feeling to it. But the playground is tiny though well equipped. What is particularly cool about this school, though, is its survival flanked by two peep shows in the heart of Soho. Be prepared to see bruised and drugged looking teenage girls slinking and smoking outside the dodgy doorways, but never fear! The friendly neighbourhood bobbies always stand outside the gate at home time to ensure all is well. A local policeman also escorts the children and teachers to church for Christmas shows and whatever whatnots people get up to in those places. One day when my brother was seven a gunman escaped from a neighbouring brothel and took refuge on the school roof, but all was well as while armed police took over the school walls the teachers took the children for a picnic in the safe haven of nearby St James' Park. A lovely, friendly school - just make sure you're prepared for all those birds and bees conversations early on as it's pretty full on outside the school gates.
