To
any
prospective
parents
-
CLFS
is,
quite
simply,
the
most
fantastic
school.
My
children
have
thrived
there;
the
staff
are
second
to
none
(including
non-teaching
staff,
e.g.
the
on-site
nurse
team);
and
the
variety
offered
meets
ALL
childrens
needs,
be
they
academically
or
more
creatively
inclined
(the
artwork
around
the
buildings
is
simply
incredible;
ditto
the
performances
be
they
drama/play/musical
based
or
music
per
se
in
the
new
recital
hall).
The
Senior
Management
team
are
also
superb
and
there
are
parent
forums
through
which
you
can
feed
back
any
issues
(IE
vis
catering
for
example)
as
well
as
the
fact
that
you
can
contact
your
child's
teacher;
head
of
year;
head
of
school
(the
school
has
separate
heads
for
Junior/Senior/6th
From)
at
any
time.
Pastorally,
it
is
also
superb
and
stamps
on
anything
that's
not
okay
very
swiftly
and
very
firmly
-
IE
I
have
seen
how
they
have
handled
bullying
and
having
seen
how
they
do
it
and
how
seriously
they
take
it,
I
do
now
understand
why
there
is
so
little
of
the
bullying
seen
in
other
schools.
FWIW,
I
also
agree
with
a
PP
who
said
the
school
-
whilst
great
-
is
not
snobby;
likewise
that
some
of
the
grammar
schools
I
looked
at
were
way
snobbier
and
with
that
vile
sense
of
'entitlement'
that
can
develop
from
that.
The
kids
at
Freemans
do
not
collectively
or
remotely
have
that
same
vibe.
Very
lastly,
the
school
is
a
mix
between
day
pupils
(by
far
the
bulk)
and
also
Boarders
-
the
Boarding
House
is
brand
new
and
is
a
simply
stunning
building;
likewise
the
staff
there
and
who
are
always
on
24
hour
call
to
parents
whose
child
may
be
boarding.
One
of
the
singular
most
useful
features
of
the
school
(apart
from
the
utterly
fundamental
ones
covered
above)
to
parents/guardians
is
that
they
offer
the
option
to
'flexi-board'
or
'casual
boarding',
meaning
day
pupils
can
board
for
a
couple
of
nights
if
say
parents
are
working
away
or
for
longer
if
needed
for
any
other
reason.
I
genuinely
could
not
recommend
the
school
highly
enough
-
hope
review
helps
you
if
you're
wavering
about
looking
at
the
school
for
your
child
or
wondering
what
it
is
really
like.
