Why Choose The Bulmershe School? Hear From Our Parents

Choosing the right secondary school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a family. At The Bulmershe School, we are proud of our vibrant, caring community, strong academic standards and exceptional pastoral care. But don’t just take our word for it – here is what our parents have to say.

In our latest Year 11 parent survey, 92% of parents said they would recommend The Bulmershe School, with 58% strongly recommending it to other families in the community. We are incredibly grateful for this feedback and proud that so many parents are confident in the education and care we provide.

One parent shared:

“We have been so impressed with The Bulmershe School throughout, which made the decision to stay on in sixth form easy.”

Another parent highlighted the exceptional pastoral care:

“You are absolutely great at providing pastoral care! We heard that the care was excellent before we even joined, but after many years of experience now, I can’t praise you enough for the excellent pastoral care my daughter has received.”

We know the GCSE years can be a challenging time for families, and it was wonderful to hear how much parents appreciated the support, guidance and commitment shown by our staff:

“The school is great. Loads of support, guidance, tips, etc. Thank you for getting them all through it!”

“The pre-exam interventions were really appreciated. Staff were generous with their time and offered lots of support.”

“The revision/intervention sessions the day before exams and on the morning of exams were a genius idea. It made an unbelievable difference to my daughter’s confidence and ability to be there for exams without her anxiety being overly triggered.”

At Bulmershe, we believe in preparing our students not just for exams but for life beyond school. Our commitment to high academic standards, excellent teaching and individual care helps students develop confidence, resilience and ambition. Parents told us:

“I’m grateful for the efforts of all teachers in supporting my kid throughout the GCSE journey. Your teaching, mentoring, sharing and caring are appreciated.”

“We are very aware of all the time teachers have put in to support kids through their exams. Thanks everyone.”

“Thank you to all the staff across the school for supporting our daughter throughout her secondary school journey, we continue to be impressed with the commitment and efforts from all the staff.”

Our strong Sixth Form is a natural next step for many of our students, offering a welcoming environment, academic challenge and personalised guidance to help them take their next steps with confidence. The strong relationships between staff and students, alongside our commitment to excellent teaching and enrichment, are a key reason why so many families choose to continue with us.
