"It would be an awful shame to close this lovely school. Young children progress much better in a small environment like this school."
"I recommended a young couple whose children had learning difficulties to shortwood school, and the two girls with the help of the team at shortwood came on in leaps and bounds but unfortunately had to leave when they were subsequently adopted. KEEP SHORTW"
"Excellent school, not many school's left in Uk"
"Former Shortwood Class Teacher"
