HH was and still is my first choice. They have had the same head teacher for more than 4 years. I have to admit that she doesn?t add much to the overall vibe of the school, which is always warm and friendly. I would say the same about the owner. What makes this school so special is the teachers and the incredible amount of very caring staff in each of the classrooms. I am very pleased with the curriculum and range of activities. Maths and Literacy are particularly strong. Music is always stunning. Entrance assessments are a con, BIG con-. It is, from my experience, a very stressful process; although I need to clarify. I never questioned my son?s readiness; our anxiety, parents only, was mainly caused by the aura of uncertainty so typical of Alleyn?s panache. Surprisingly, although we were offered a place at Alleyn?s, we decided to go for Rosemead and I am glad we did it. I believe Rosemead is a continuation of that nurturing atmosphere we?ve always found at HH, although less specialised in EY.
