The children are always happy and close bonds between them are created. The staff are lovely, warm and you feel safe in the knowledge that your child is being cared for by well trained staff who not only care for your children but also educate them in a way that prepares them for school. If I have any more children in future I will not hesitate with putting my child forward to attend this school. I wish all the staff and children the best of luck and we will miss them all very much.

Seven years I spent in this school, learning my times tables, perfecting my handwriting, avoiding…read moresports days, and eating packed lunch in the grotty dinner centre that smelled of hot cheese. The school is divided into two buildings, and essentially three areas: reception children are effectively segregated from the burly year-ones and "tops". For years 3-6, children go up to "juniors". There is also a nursery available through the week. The headteacher and many of the school teachers have changed since I was there, so I can't comment on teaching standards. With regards to the school building itself, there have been some improvements with new entrance doors, an enhanced play area, and new dining facilities. The building was decrepit when I attended school here; with smashed window, exposed brick work and a dirty, positively dangerous playing field, it needed more than a lick of paint. St Edmunds is quite a large school and accepts children from outside of the area and christian denomination, besides those of St Edmund's and/or St Thomas's parish. While I myself represent the progeny of this school, there is some stigma attached to St Edmund's and St Thomas's relating to the sector of society it welcomes or rather, acquires. Many feel it is one of the least respected schools,that is less exclusive- less posh, basically. I don't know whether that's fair to say, in my opinion it is true to some extent but not necessarily a disadvantage.

While it…read moreis much smaller, St John's is compact, it offers all the essential teaching requirements in a modern building,and the school grounds are more than adequate. Moreover, the scale of the school demands an intimate student/teacher relationship and enables relationships to build throughout the school life of the child. There are lots of extra curricular activities available here: dance and drama; athletics, netball and cricket, calligraphy and Wayfarers Bible activities amongst others.

I attended a Catholic Volutary Aided State School between the ages 16-18 at St. Edward's College…read more6th Form, Sandfield Park to study my A-Levels. During my time there, I literally studied till I dropped! By word of mouth, I heard that I was attending one of the top Schools in Liverpool, so I had to brace myself for the amount of home work and extra activities I was involved in. This did put me under a lot of pressure as stress levels were inevitibly high during those years. However, if it had not been for St. Eddie's (as some call it), I would probably not have achieved my full potential. The School is located in quite a peaceful surrounding and when you enter the site, it has this classic School look about it with long corridors, a huge playing field and even a swimming pool (which was a bonus). The 6th Form building is pleasantly decorated in a building of heritage that the School has preserved. Its interior walls are painted in lovely pink too! Each classroom in the Upper School fits an average of 20 pupils and they have a wide range of facilites to benefit from, throughout the institution. There are also a couple of common rooms where you can eat and chat to friends in a controlled environment. If you are a parent and have a child or you are of the post-16 criteria, look no further than St. Edward's College.

Xaverian College...what a fantastic place…read more This is where I actually became who I am today. I know that sounds silly but this college is fantastic. I learnt more here in two years than I did in five years at high school. The teachers here really bring you out of yourself, they actually care about the students, not just about the grades. I'm still in touch with most of my tutors now, they care what I've been up to since I left and always get in touch to congratulate me on anything I achieve. The range of subjects is vast and the campus keeps getting bigger and better. It's much different to most other colleges as the buildings are spread right out although not too far so you can still walk to all of them comfortably. It's so different to school, everyone is treated as an adult and it was such a good grounding before university, I don't think I'd have been half as prepared for uni if it wasn't for Xaverian.

The school have no idea how to support a child with special needs, mental health issues etc. I found the head of the senco team arrogant, rude and disrespectful. My daughter was treated like a second class citizen and very rarely was issues of bullying addressed. It was never the bullies fault and always my daughters. They twitter on about reward trips and then allow the bullies to go too. One of the PE teachers screamed at my daughter in the middle of Chester Zoo on a trip and she was on her knees begging him to let her stay. I wish he had phoned me. This particular memory of many makes me feel sick. I could write a book how this school broke my daughter and our family. If your child does not have mental health issues going into the school, they will by the time they finish. I failed my daughter by allowing her to continue her education in such a dreadful place. If you want your child to excel please do not send them here!

If there was a 0 star button, I'd use it. I was a pupil from 2016-2019 and I can say it was the…read moreworst experience of my life. I don't know where to start, from the lack of support due to mental health issues at the time or the incompetent teachers. The lack of support lead to my mental breakdown in early 2019. My mental health issues were constantly belittled by the teachers who told me "it's not that bad" and were insincere and didn't follow through when they said they were going to help me. Excuse after excuse. Long story short I spent most of 2020 recovering from mental health issues after being denied support and I'm glad I left when I did. The SLT team and the head are not fit to be running the place. And to any person considering Woodchurch as an option, please avoid this school like the plague. All ex-pupil reviews will be the same.
