My children flourish in this school. The teachers are incredible in helping them get the best out of them. They are the happiest they can be and thus can strive and achieve impressive academic results when it matters. The teachers put their hearts and souls in the education of these children. And the results speak by themselves, not just in exams but also in the well-rounded character of these children. Do we want robot teachers that fill in forms to comply with bureaucratic regulations? Or do we want teachers that care about our children's happiness which is, after all, the solid bases for any type of achievements in life? The OFSTED report is absolutely misleading. This school has excellent teaching, excellent results and outstanding and happy children.

An eccentric school with some very good teachers who are always there for 'their' children.

Thank you very much to strong and dedicated heads of schools, brilliant teachers and caring staff who supported, challenged and inspired our daughter in so many different ways and fields. The teachers are willing to cooperate and easily approachable - we were perfectly aware of our daughter's strengths and areas for improvement. Hill House raises happy, confident and kind children who are fully equipped emotionally and intellectually to face and resolve life challenges, respect other cultures and cooperate.

To brand the school as “inadequate” in all aspects is shocking and does not reflect our experience. All our support to the owners, teachers and staffs.

The Ofsted report is an unbalanced representation of a school that offers an excellent well rounded education and delivers happy children eager to learn. The school practice the Christian ethos of kindness and humility which is reflected in the children. All children, parents and teachers are treated with equity and respect Irrespective of their social standing. We feel blessed our son is at the school.

I understand that some parents are proposing a demonstration in Sloane Square either tomorrow or on Wednesday for 8am. I will be there with my youngest son. Alas my eldest won't be able to make it as he is having a wonderful time in Switzerland with the school! I encourage everyone to formally register a complaint with Ofsted and also to contact their local MPs and councillors to seek their assistance.

The Ofsted report seems to have been prepared with an "agenda" in mind, to make a point. It's true that the form-filling, box-ticking side of the school probably needs work to bring it up to today's expected "standards". However, to dismiss the teaching as being sub-standard is utter rubbish - just look at the results!

I disagree that the Ofsted REport is accurate in the majority of its findings in regard to Hill House & would lke to make this known.

It is obvious that Ofsted can't deal with the idiosyncrasies that make Hill House such a special school. However, they do need to sit up and take notice.

I would like to offer my full support to the proprietors, leaders, teachers, and staff at HH and wish them all the very best during this difficult time. It is a passing storm, which will hopefully not have too much of a negative impact on this great school’s distinctive ethos and benign quirkiness.

Having read the report, I feel it is more taken personally by Ofsted. I just don't recognise the school they described! My son is developing very well and he is a happy boy there.To be honest it seems to be a matter of jealousy and over reacting.

My daughter has been at the school for 3.5 years. She is very happy at the school and has made excellent progress. While I think the report does make a few valid points. The overall assessment is completely at odds with my experience to such and extent that it is hard to believe that they visited the same school!
