TASS is a kind & caring school that cares about us ourselves - not just our education - even though that's what school's about. We always have fun & I never go home wishing 'I wish I'd been at another school'!

—Y3, 2 & 1 Parent
It’s been slightly difficult with us coming from another school. There was no way the teacher could have been told everything, but within just a couple of weeks we felt that she had gained an excellent understanding of our child. We couldn’t be happier with the support our child has been given during her first term at TASS! Thank you!
—Y2 Parent
Excellent teaching! I can’t believe how much she has come on in Reading & Writing!
—Y1 Parent
It’s lovely to be greeted by the teacher each morning & to be able to pass on messages when necessary!
