Year 13 Parent

Parent

"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"

Everyone was so friendly to her, staff and peers and she is coming back from school happy and without negativity."

Year 13 Student

Student

"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."
