How would you rate Sunmarke School?
My family and I recently had an incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience with this private school that we were considering for our 4-year-old son. We initially went for an assessment in November, and the school told us that our son was not at the level to start Year 1 the following academic year. They suggested we try again for assessment in 5 or 6 months. A couple of months later, I went back to the school and begged them to reserve a spot for my son. I was even willing to pay extra to secure a place for him, they said this was not possible to do but they reassured me that there would be a spot available for my son in case he qualified for Year 1 admission. Fast forward to today when we went in for another assessment. After a brief 10-minute private encounter with my son, the school staff claimed that his phonics skills were still not good enough for Year 1, yet his English was too good for the Year 1 class designed for non-English speakers. To make matters worse, they informed us that there were no spaces left in the Year 1 class with special support, and that our son was physically too big to repeat FS2. They had the audacity to claim that they only wanted the best for my child while judging him based on his physical size, which is absurd and unprofessional. I was understandably upset and frustrated by the school's hypocrisy and lack of transparency. When I expressed my dissatisfaction with their decision, the head of the school took offense to my language and abruptly ended the conversation. In the end, we left the school feeling extremely disappointed and deceived. I would have appreciated honesty from the beginning, rather than being led on by false promises and ultimately rejected for dubious reasons. I strongly advise against considering this school for your child's education, as their actions demonstrate a lack of professionalism, empathy, and transparency.

I moved my daughters to the school from an Indian curriculum. I am very happy with the exposure and education being close to reality. Most often the education system is not agile enough to cope with changes however-the school has shown that it doesn’t loose its relevance in this changing environment. All the best and keep up the good work.

The STEAM Programme and Positive Education curriculum at Sunmarke are remarkable. My daughter has received multiple opportunities to participate in international competitions and has been able to meet and understand talent around the world – which is important. The facilities at the school are great too. In just three years, the school has been making tremendous year on year progress, makes you think of how experienced, dedicated and hardworking the SLT and teachers are.

This school is putting to much pressure on its students for example too much homework and no freedom, without educating the students well . I am a witness of seeing a student being harassed by a teacher, it’s is also extremely expensive.In addition to this , every time there are inspectors we are forced to act like every thing is fine and there are consequences when we act normally . The lessons are long and they say this school is about postive education but are the complete opposite. Thank you:)
