Thank you for your continued support of our son – who since he joined you is blossoming before our eyes in so many ways.

Appleford Parent

Appleford made me who I am today.  Ambitious, confident in my actions, righteous in the way I treat people, respectful.  The most important of all confident in myself and to never let anyone tell me I’m stupid again.

Appleford Ex Pupil

I’ve never really had a Headmaster before, let along one I’ve truly respected.  Thank you for allowing me to attend Appleford – to cut it short this school has been a total life saver for me.

Appleford Pupil

Our son was talking about how difficult it was in his old school – he never stood a chance in competitions and when he tried to make friends he often felt shunned – ‘people just didn’t talk to me’.  He’s so much happier here – he says he feels he has more of a chance, and he made friends on his first day.

Appleford Pupil

The size of the school is helpful as it ensures all pupils are known individually not just by their form tutors but by all staff.
