Testimonies

Firstly, it was an absolute pleasure to meet such young, polite, well dressed (even at the end of the school day), children.
They were a credit to Ousedale.
It is no wonder your school has achieved excellent results….

I was so bowled over by the atmosphere at the school, the pupils themselves and other staff…….
If I was going to school today, that’s the type of school I would like to attend.

I can honestly say the pupils I see are always incredibly polite and friendly, there's no shouting, pushing, swearing, smoking.
The pupils on bikes are cycle well, I'm always given room.
One of my dogs is very nervous and I never have a problem with her being anxious.

As young people often get a bad press I thought I would let you know that I've only had a good experience with your pupils.

Just a quick note to say thank you for taking the girls to the tournament and giving up a good part of your Saturday last week.
It was much appreciated and the girls were thrilled with their second place.

Can I just say he is really happy that you're his teacher, he said he gets on really well with you.
It's so lovely to hear him say he enjoys his lesson.

The Ousedale teachers carry such a respectful ambition for the pupils and create the best opportunity for their education.
The level of commitment to their vocation is obvious.
Your motto of Aspire. Believe. Achieve is well and truly adopted.

We just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful Awards Evening last week. We were so very proud of our daughter
as were the parents of all the other children. It was fantastic to see all of the students perform
so brilliantly; what talent. You must have been extremely proud too!

I really appreciate the open and welcoming attitude of yourself and your colleagues, 
I enjoyed having the opportunity to talk with the students and I was greatly
impressed with the high standards of teaching and learning that I saw.

She really thinks the world of you and Ousedale School, she speaks so highly
of you, Mr Glover, Miss Green, and tells me about conversations she has with
people who inspire her! Her teachers!

Thank you for a very enjoyable evening last night at Ousedale Olney. We
thoroughly enjoyed watching all the children receive their awards and the
entertainment was very good indeed. 

Children cannot manufacture passion. What struck me most was how to a person
they were all very passionate about what they do and how proud they are to
be members of the school. Well done to all.

We initially chose Ousedale over a grammar school partly because it was local
and had excellent results - but also because we were impressed with the Indian
exchange programme.

My daughters are very excited to be participating in next year’s trip.

When my daughter first started at Ousedale - she was in the third Science, second
English and top Maths set. With hard work, determination and support from the
teachers she is now thriving in the top set for all subjects and looking forward to
starting the GCSE courses.

The school offers lots of opportunities for students to get involved and when she
didn't manage to get a part in Peter Pan - she worked backstage and
experienced the other side of stage life.

She's also works as a student librarian and sits on the student council and looks
forward to going to school every day.
