"I'm really proud with the learning my children are receiving. I feel the normal school hours are helping to keep them in a routine. After talking with other parents who have children at different schools I feel Tanfield have handled this well. Some children at other schools don't have zoom classes or much work."

"We could not ask for more from the school, staff have gone above and beyond to ensure that the students are learning and also find the time to check on their well-being. As parents, we have been kept up to date with Daniel’s progress during a virtual parents evening which was excellent and with developments in the exam situation through prompt, regular letters as the situation develops. The proactive approach taken by the school to this ever changing situation has really helped Daniel to maintain some kind of normal by providing a routine. Thank you also for the prompt response to the issue raised following parents evening."
