Feedback we are proud of...

Please see below a few examples of positive feedback about Personal Development and SST life from both students and parents:

 

I just wanted to send a quick email just to say a big thank you to you and all the staff at SST for making Ruby feel so welcome, happy and safe during her first term. 

 

As you know she didn’t have the greatest time at primary school at all and hated going, but over the past 7 weeks I have seen such a huge change in her which has been so lovely to see. She actually said to me last night ‘Mum I’m looking forward to having time off with you but I’m going to really miss going to school, seeing my teachers and friends and doing lessons as I love going to school now’. 

 

All I’ve wanted for Ruby during her school years is for her to actually enjoy going to school as well as being happy, feeling safe and getting her confidence back. This is all down to you as a school so thank you as it really does mean such a lot.

 

Hope you have a lovely half term.

It's hugely encouraging that this attentive, empathic and responsible side of Amos is flourishing in school. We want to thank you for nurturing those qualities and values in the school's culture. Our thanks also to you and your colleagues for supporting Amos in his learning and personal growth during these precious years in school.

David was so proud that his design was chosen for the medal and he was so excited to tell us all about the ceremony and assembly.

From the pictures we have seen on Twitter, we think that all at SST have done an excellent job and should be very proud of the Remembrance ceremony and all that you did at school today.

Thank you for all you do for the children.

I would just like to email to thank yourself and the staff involved in last night’s information evening.
The sessions that I attended were very informative and I came away feeling a little bit more in the loop of my sons life at school.
It was clear to see that the teachers genuinely have the students best interests at heart.
I can see why my son Rowan loves Sst!

May I take this opportunity to say that the evening has reaffirmed for me that Rowan is in a school where he will be nurtured and encouraged in the best possible way for him.
Rowan is now in year 8 but we still consider ourselves very fortunate that he is able to attend such an amazing school.

Already got so much love for SST. Keep up the good work.

My son, Jake, started yesterday in year 7. I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the welcome he received. The singing and the drumming and the teachers we spoke to all made it a lovely experience for him. It’s so important to have such a positive and memorable experience and I really feel all the new students had this. Could you please pass my thanks on to whoever was involved in making it such a success.

I just wanted to say thank you very much for taking the time to let us know how Reuben has been getting on; we are so delighted that he’s had such a positive impact and and has been so helpful during the Summer School. He has loved every bit of it and has come back daily with a real joy from having been entrusted to encourage his younger peers and support the teachers alike. In fact I should let you know that he was very mindful that his asking to take part in this morning’s exchange with SST Singapore would mean that he would not be able to fulfil his duties as class help. It really delighted us to see how seriously he took his responsibility, and we are so glad that your feedback confirms this. 

Thank you for opening up this opportunity for him to be part of the Summer School, it is really helping to shape the young leader in him. He is excited to have met some of the new Year 7’s and has made friends that I know he will look out for comes September.

The Summer School I’m sure was a lot fo work for the teachers and staff alike, and as parents my husband and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you wholeheartedly for everything you are doing for the students. We shall continue being your biggest encouragers as the year unfolds!

Huge thanks for such warm words about Andrejs. I really value your care and support for Andrejs. Also, I would like to express my gratitude to you and other members of the school for your great care about the students of SST. I am very happy that Andrejs is a part of SST.

Thank you so much for your email. Means so much to us to hear your words of encouragement and delight with Tyler. He enjoys being around you he says it all the time. Loves being at sst and is determined always to try his best and we too are very proud of him and so impressed with all the staff there that have helped him settle into secondary school with confidence. For all you do and have done for all the children during this past testing year for all we would like to say a special thank you. 
Keep up the great work you are doing. I'm sure it is going to be a very successful and desirable school to attend.

I just wanted to say how much my daughter has enjoyed this week. From day one she walked through the door with a big smile on her face.

She has made new friends, learnt new and interesting things and feels more confident now about starting secondary school in September.

This is exactly what I hoped she would get out of this experience. We couldn't be more pleased.

So a very big thank you from us to all the teachers and organisers for making this such a good experience for her.

Thank you for producing these wonderful newsletters.  I thank all the teachers too for their hard work this term.  Please pass on my best wishes to them all - I hope that you all have a wonderful Summer.

Thank you to all of you for all you do for the children of the school.

I was so proud watching my daughter tonight. If you would have asked me, even a few months ago, I would never have imagined that she would speak in front of so many people, and so well (I am a bit biased).

It’s definitely a huge thankyou for us to SST and all the staff, for giving her this confidence and believing in her to speak publicly.

I just had to write to say congratulations on the fabulous production, it can’t have been easy with such a rookie company! They were all amazing. It did Eva the power (boom!) of good to be involved in the process, it really challenged her and tested her resilience.

Well done to all involved and a huge thank you for putting on the production.

We constantly thank our lucky stars  that both our children got a place at SST given how popular it is and how small your catchment area now is. 

You have created such a happy year group, well the bunch I see anyway, we are so very happy as parents that the girls are at SST.

Thank you to you & all of the brilliant staff for all the time, hard work & effort that goes into teaching our children.

My son Harry has really enjoyed the experience of giving the tours (I personally think its a wonderful way to boost their confidence) and he is already hoping to be picked again next year.

Samuel really enjoyed doing the tours and felt such pride in showing the families around the school. Thank you for giving Samuel such a lovely opportunity.

This year has been great start to secondary school and don't think I would be as happy anywhere else. SST is truly amazing.

I would like to say a big thank you for everything you have done to make the school the place it is now. You all have made everyday at SST enjoyable and I have loved every minute of it. Enjoy the summer with family and friends and make sure you make the best of it (you only live once). Thanks again.

Thank you also for making Year 7 as easy as possible as a transition to secondary school. We feel Joshua settled so quickly into school and appreciate support given where needed.

Our daughter is incredibly proud to be able to represent SST. We are so proud of her as well, she works so hard and takes pride in everything she does. This really is the most perfect school for her.

Elizabeth is incredibly happy at SST, she has referred to SST as her dream school, she says deciding to go there has been the best decision she has ever made. I have seen such a change in Elizabeth since she started at SST, she had a difficult year 6 with a very negative and discouraging teacher, since joining SST she has become so much more confident and is really enjoying her school life, it is so lovely to see her like that. She even volunteered to help at one of the open days last year, talking to parents and prospective pupils, this is something she never would have done previously. She even misses going to school in the holidays.

I would like to say thank you to you and all the teachers for the work you are doing, the environment you have created is one that is caring, supportive and allows the pupils to be the best they can, Elizabeth is not afraid to try and give things a go, something she wouldn't done her last school.

Thank you for giving our son these great opportunities.  Funnily enough my husband and I have just been talking about his football and how he is going from strength to strength. We like you are so proud of him and all he has achieved at SST this year. He still absolutely loves it! Thank you again for everything you do. You make schooling so easy for us as parents!
