This is the place that inspired Harry Potter movie scenes and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. I visited a professor or "fellow" and was given an exclusive tour. What an incredible place. I left feeling very stupid, uneducated and American. The professors at Oxford are brilliant, leagues beyond Harvard, Yale, or any American University. It opened my eyes to modern human intellectual greatness.

Located high above most of Bristol, and just 10 minutes from Park Street, St Michael on the Mount…read moreis easily accessible for anyone using public transport or walking. The actual school is situated just behind a very attractive church, meaning it is off the main road and is very private. The school is divided into two main buildings - one for Key Stage 1 and the other for Key Stage 2. Classroom size is a little on the small side, especially for KS2's, however there doesn't seem to be a feel of overcrowding. The teachers are all wonderful. There is a clear sense of dedication and it feels that every teacher really cares for each student. Children come from all backgrounds, with many having English as their 2nd language. There is a number of extra support staff who regularly takes small groups off to another room for extra help which is a very positive point. The school also benefits from the Outreach Scheme, which is a government funded organisation which places students from the University of the West of England into schools to aid the teachers. After speaking to a number of staff at St Michaels, it is apparent that they are extremely grateful for the additional help that the Outreach Scheme provides. There are morning and after school clubs offered, and also an option for school dinners or packed lunches. All young children are given milk and fruit for snacks and regularly encouraged to run around outdoors. A word of warning though, if driving, the lane leading into the schools car park is very long and narrow meaning only one car can fit down it resulting in a lot of congestion in the mornings and after school.

This was my primary school!…read more Although I've not been inside it for some time, I can say first-hand that the teachers here were inspirational and great with their pupils, as pp said, good for all abilities.

My daughter has recently started at this school, having attended the pre-school for almost two…read moreyears. I can't fault it at all - she is absolutely loving it. She can't wait to get there each day. When we first moved to this area in 2006 I heard a lot about what a dreadful reputation the school had, and I was worried about sending my children there. However, having read the Ofsted report, spoken to local parents and toured the school for myself, I don't think there's any truth in the rumours at all. If this was once a failing school it has been very successfully turned around. The children all seem very happy and there's always lots going on. I am 100% happy with my decision to send my daughter there.
