Today , I fear, evething needs to be classed and put into boxes, HH dosen't conform and we as parents see this is a wonderful thing. It's a dam shame that OFSTED can't cope with this.

I can not believe this, all this parents waiting to get children to Hill House, then paying fees would send there precious kids to dangerous and incompetent institution . How sad that inspectors can't see outside the "tick boxes"

Our son has been through Hill House (2004-2013)and is now at Eton. That was all down to the teaching at school! Our daughter is currently there and is happy. I'm not sure which school the Ofsted inpectors went to see because it certainly wasn't the school we know!

I fully support Hill House! I have four children in the school and they are extremely happy. They are all thriving in their own way and have always been supported and cared for in the best possible way. Besides the education they have received they have all grown in confidence and character thanks to the ability and freedom to do so. I would only be proud to call my children typical Hill House kids! I have no doubt they will receive an outstanding education as a result of the supportive and caring environment the extremely dedicated and knowledgable teachers and staff at Hill House offer. Our eldest daughter is leaving this year and I have nothing but admiration for the teachers that supported them through the 11+ process. I feel she is not only well prepared for secondary school but also for life! For this and all the above I'm most grateful to Hill House.

Having read the report, I just don't recognise the school described! Both my boys are very happy and engaged with the school, I only wish I had enjoyed my schooling so much!!

With several years’ experience of Hill House, I find the box-ticking critique by Ofsted inspectors bears little relation to the reality of a very good school. My son is very happy at the school.

Full support for the school. If Ofsted wants to headline grab then they have succeeded. This is all very bad for our children who are happy, safe and well educated.

Our two girls are in Year 5 and Year 2 and are both happy, well mannered, enthusiastic and bright children. They are always happy to go to school in the morning and are always happy when I pick them up at the end of the day! Their learning is improving constantly and both enjoy their lessons. They always have some wonderful tales to tell of their days at Hill House and are genuinely very happy and very settled. I do not feel that the Ofsted report reflects the true Hill House in any way. There is good and bad in everything, and whilst not perfect Hill House school is the best choice we could have made for our girls. We have some wonderful relationships with many of the teachers, built up over the years. I have always found all the teaching staff to be nothing but helpful, understanding, patient and supportive. I think its terrible that they have been criticised in this way and hope they will rise above it all and carry on knowing that we all believe in them.

Ofsted should focus its energies on schools which are demonstrably lacking, instead of generating sensational media hype by targeting successful independent schools for what amounts to petty breaches of politically correct red tape.

Regardless of what Ofsted's inspectors say, my daughter's happy and progressing well. Credit to everyone at Hill House for providing such a wonderful environment for kids to grow.
Our son George is in Reception at Hill House. He is extremely happy and excited going to school every morning. Both my husband and I feel that the level of education is excellent and done in a manner which does not stress the children out which cannot be said about any other schools in the area! The report is highly upsetting and simply untrue as far as we are concerned.

Our children are very happy at Hill House. The report reflects in no way the daily life at the school. Especially today we would like to thank all the teachers as well as the Townend family for their hard work and dedication to make Hill House what it is: A great school !

The Ofsted report is at odds with what Hill House International School successfully fosters and delivers: a non-selective environment, nurturing academic achievement, forming character and insisting on good manners. Teachers are emphatic and stand for high personal and academic standards. My thanks go to the leadership and staff of Hill House International School.
