“Lyonsdown is a school founded on universal family values, community and friendship. As a parent I feel reassured my daughters are flourishing in a creative and nurturing environment that embraces diversity and inclusion of all children".
Parent of recent leavers
“Lyonsdown is an absolutely amazing school. We have been extremely happy with the school from our first interaction, not only for their high standards in academia but also the early introduction of extra-curricular activities embedded during school time with PE, Forest School, computing and coding. The school also offers a wide range of teacher led and private clubs after school which are great. This in conjunction with the values of the school ethos has given my daughter a fully rounded education grounded in academics, general knowledge and personality building"
Current parent
"The teachers are caring, kind, focussed and strive to bring out the best in each of the girls. I couldn’t recommend Lyonsdown more highly to prospective parents or parents looking for a safe and secure school that would give their children a great experience”.
Current parent
Lyonsdown School provides great academic results because the teachers listen and nurture students along their journey.
Current parent
My daughter joined in pre-reception and is co-head girl this year. I couldn't be more proud of the "kind, bold and brave" individual she has become, thanks to Lyonsdown !!
