"We love the ethos and location and have watched the school go from strength to strength'"
"More than education you provided our child with a safe, fun and family feel place to be educated, that’s no mean feat in today’s world. They have grown in confidence, made friends, learnt to communicate with adults and become a happy well-rounded person"
"I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at school for welcoming X this September. She is so happy and motivated, she loves going to school and has made friends so so quickly. Everyone was so friendly to her, staff and peers and she is coming back from school happy and without negativity."
"Wye has managed to create a Sixth Form which prioritises student needs and a quality education, with a happy, friendly environment for both teachers and students."
"I knew as soon as I completed my GCSE's and received my results that Wye was the only option for Sixth Form. Wye has always created a caring environment, ideal for these vital years, converting from childhood to adulthood. Wye is lucky enough to have a small Sixth Form, where students' individual needs are met, rather than pupils being viewed as only a collective."
"I love working at Wye School because of great leadership, working with lovely staff and students, a great friendly working atmosphere"
"I enjoy being at Wye School because it is a small school with beautiful surroundings, mixed ability, good behaviour, friendly students, colleagues and parents, culturally, ethnically and disability diverse."
