What Parents Say About Us

 “Such a lovely school with a community feel. I love how it focuses on not just the academic side but provides a good, well rounded education with a focus on being healthy and being outdoors. I love how almost everyone knows each other and how the headteacher knows all of the children’s names. So glad I picked Seaburn Dene for my daughter.”

“The school continues to have a community or family feel - the teachers know pupils across year groups and there is a cohesive close knit atmosphere. The choice of after school clubs this year has been varied and it's good the kids are having opportunities to try different things.”

“Since joining in January, we’ve been made to feel nothing but welcome. Totally different experience to the other school we were part of, I’m just sad we weren’t with you from nursery. Loved our first experience of sports day.”

"Seaburn Dene wasn't our first choice - but it couldn't have turned out any better. Lovely teachers, great facilities, our son has come on fantastically. The class sizes are fab so the kids get lots of attention. Fab school."

"We chose the school on the recommendation of friends and the friendly staff and pupils have helped our daughter settle in."

"We think it is a great school. We admire the teaching staff for their skill, caring and patience."
