"I am extremely grateful for the hardwork and dedication to my child’s education provided by Tanfield, and I actually think it is superior to other secondary settings. He is engaged; puts his all into lessons because of the constant interaction with staff; and was thrilled to achieve star student and then the attendance award. These are all great incentives. The completing of the full timetable provides us with reassurance that he is fulfilling the year 7 curriculum therefore reducing potential gaps."
