Student Voices

Meet some of our students


I like the sports facilities, the teachers and learning at TES.

Mark, Year 6


I like learning about animals and playing with my friends.

 

Waylen, Nursery


I like TES because we get to be in various types of teams, like basketball.

This makes me believe in myself more. Josie, Year 5


I like that I get to know more people from around the world, from places like India! I like learning maths and getting to play with new toys I haven't played with before. My favourite thing about TES is that I'm safe because everyone looks after me.

Gabriel, Year 1

At school, I like to draw and make stuff with junk modelling!

Lily, Reception

 

I like that there are a lot of my favourite lessons: library time, literacy and PSHE.
