What makes our school remarkable?

We asked our families what makes our school remarkable. This is the summary of their comments including some quotes:

“Tardebigge represents more than just a school for me, it is the foundation of how my children will go on to live their lives. The values they will carry with them, the respect they will have for others and ultimately the success they will have in their personal and professional lives.”

Strong Sense of Community and Family Feel:
Tardebigge is a small, nurturing school where everyone knows each other. There’s a genuine “family” atmosphere, with a close-knit, caring, and supportive environment for children, staff, and parents alike. The school creates opportunities for parents to feel included and involved in their children’s learning and experiences.

“As a parent, I feel encouraged to be a part of the school community and play a part in the school’s success.”

Dedicated and Passionate Staff:
The staff are described as caring, approachable, and deeply committed to bringing out the best in every child. Staff know each child individually, irrespective of which year group they’re in, providing tailored support and offering a safe, happy environment. Their passion for education and willingness to go the extra mile make a real difference.

“With both of my children having attended Tardebigge, I have always felt they are more than just an intake number. They aren’t lost in the ‘herd’. Their individual needs, learning style and personalities are nurtured.”

Rich and Varied Opportunities:
Parents value the wide range of experiences the school offers — from well-organised educational trips and fun events to special traditions like bedtime stories, cinema nights and the on-site residential Space Camp. These opportunities create lasting memories and enhance children’s learning beyond the classroom.

"I wanted to acknowledge the recent extra-curricular activities being provided. They have helped expand their horizons and build their resilience. There's a real buzz amongst parents right now!"

Strong Values and Beautiful Surroundings:
Tardebigge’s vision of growing and shining is consistently embedded in everything the school does, allowing children’s spiritual, academic, and personal development to flourish. The school’s stunning countryside location and connection to the church add to its charm and create a peaceful, inspiring environment.

“There is a true sense of tradition and respect for the core values at Tardebigge, that I believe is lacking across most of society today.”
