Confidence to express themselves

My kids have been studying here at Reach for nine years so you can consider us loyal parents of Reach. My kids are very happy in this school. The teachers are very supportive, and patient and have a good understanding of each student. I also love how safe and peaceful the school environment which gives my kids the confidence to express themselves.

Keeping us in the loop

One thing I appreciate about Reach British School is the way the teachers follow up on the performance of our kids and how they consistently keep us in the loop. I also love the Coffee mornings where the school provides us with all the information about the current and future activities that are happening in the school.
