I recently attended this school in my role as a cover supervisor ie someone who covers lessons when a teacher is absent. I've worked in many schools in Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Humberside and visiting Banovallum was a joy. People may (or may not) be surprised at the lack of organisation and discipline at some schools. Not so Banovallum. The cover work was well organised, the discipline excellent and the kids were lovely. I received regular support from teachers nearby and the general organisation was great. I thought the work set was certainly challenging for the pupils. Thank you. I had a lovely day. read more

We are parents of a child who joined the school as a year 7 student (2008). She was a fresh face as we had moved from Cambridgeshire to Lincolnshire that summer. She has just left with fantastic GCSE results. It hasn't always been easy as there were some issues of bullying but the school were always quick to nip it in the bud as soon as they knew about it. The communication channels between the school and parents are extremely good and always open. My daughter struggles with the more academic subjects due to mild dyslexia but support was always there with extra tuition if required. She left 'Bano' with 2 A*, 4 A, 1B and 2 C grade GCSE's and 2 BTEC dist*. This is a school that truly believes in 'every' child's potential. Not every child wants to engage but the school will do their absolute best at trying to get a tune out of all of them no matter whether they are a high flyer, average or below. Banovallum are not always well spoken of as they are constantly compared with the local Grammar school but we are so glad our daughter went to 'Bano' as she would have never been able to fly in the stifling grammar environment. read more
