Testimonials
Choosing this nursery was one of the best decisions we made for our child. Our child loves going to nursery every day and has developed socially, emotionally, and academically. Special thanks to the nursery staff who were incredibly kind and supportive throughout our experience. Their care, patience, and understanding made it much easier to trust that my child was in safe and loving hands. I truly appreciate the warmth and dedication they show to both children and parents. Special thanks to the Admissions team, who comforted and reassured me whenever I had concerns.

I want to express our heartfelt thanks to the teachers and staff at Seaton House. The past two years have been truly wonderful for Holly, she has been so happy here, grown in confidence, and always loved coming to school each day. We will miss you all greatly.
Mr Zhang June 2026
Thank you very much Mrs Hopkins, for being so caring and patient with our daughter. She has been so happy in Seaton House and really enjoys the family here. She will definitely miss you and all the loving teaching staff and her friends in Seaton House!
Ms Zhao – February 2026
Both our girls have been genuinely happy at Seaton House, and we have valued the warmth of the community and the care shown to our family. Please extend our heartfelt thanks to all the teachers and staff for everything they have done for them since they joined in nursery, and for providing such a safe, nurturing, happy and fun environment throughout.
Mrs Jamil- February 2026
We could not be more delighted with our daughter’s journey through Seaton House. She left thoroughly prepared for the next stage of her education-remarkably organised, confidently independent, and equipped with the maturity that will serve her well at secondary school.
Seaton House provides a nurturing environment— one in which every child is known, valued, and encouraged to flourish. It achieves a rare balance between academic excellence and an enriching school experience, as she leaves carrying with her a wealth of happy memories and close, nurturing friendships.
We also wanted to thank the outstanding teachers, whose unwavering support, professionalism, and warmth have guided our daughter with such care and inspiration. We could not have wished for a more wonderful foundation for her future.
Mrs Masson December 2025
SHS has been a home away from home for our daughter—a small, family-oriented, happy school with dedicated staff committed to bringing out the best in every girl. Led by Mr. Bates and Mrs. McGreevy, the team provides a nurturing environment where pupils feel safe and supported.
Choosing SHS was one of our most important decisions, and our daughter’s journey from Reception to Senior House has confirmed it was the right one. Her confidence, independence, and resilience have flourished, thanks to the school’s focus on developing the whole child through strong academics and co-curricular activities. In addition, the ELSA and well-being support offered by the school is an example of SHS’s commitment to promoting positive mental health.
We are grateful to SHS for helping our daughter grow into a young lady who embraces every opportunity with pride and joy. The school’s motto, “Alis Volat Propriis” (“She flies with her own wings”), could not be more fitting.
Mr. and Mrs. Seecharran July 2025
We would like to put on record our heartfelt thanks and admiration for the fantastic work you and your staff have done with both our girls over the years. Seaton House is a truly wonderful school and will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We are so richly blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing community.
Mr and Mrs Katongera July 2025
We want to thank all of the staff who make Seaton House a warm nurturing environment where our daughter has really grown in confidence and made lots of beautiful memories which she will always carry with her. We’re so sad to be leaving the school and wish you all the best for the future. We can’t thank you enough.
Mr and Mrs White July 2025
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you’ve given all four of my children from the very beginning—the care, encouragement, patience, guidance and genuine warmth.
From their first days at Seaton House, they felt supported, understood and happy. That sense of belonging has meant so much to them and to me. The time they spent at the school has helped shape who they are and we’ll always carry that with us.
Seaton House will always be part of our story.
July 2025
Today is National Thank a Teacher day and so I thought it was a good time to write in and say a huge thank you to all the passionate, dedicated staff at Seaton House, both teachers and support staff. You do such a wonderful job of creating an environment in which the girls can learn and grow.
Our girls are certainly extremely happy at school (the eldest would stay forever if she could – she honestly loves the place!) and that is down to the way you all support them and provide so many opportunities for them to develop new skills and experience new things. They are challenged where appropriate, gently supported where needed, and always have such amazing additional events and activities to engage in, from theatre and music to art, science, maths and sport.
It really matters to us that the small, family-like environment means both girls are genuinely seen and heard (as are we as parents!). And that’s down to the staff.
Thank you again!
Mr and Mrs O’Keeffe June 2025
We couldn’t be happier with the experience our two daughters (Years 4 and 1) have had at Seaton House School. From the time they joined in nursery they have had a nurturing and wholesome primary school experience.
The teachers are very dedicated and really go above and beyond, with a genuine sense of care for the children’s wellbeing. Our daughters receive an excellent academic education, which is challenging yet supportive and we always receive good quality feedback about their progress.
The girls have fantastic opportunities at the school. One of the things we value most is the strong sense of community. The school encourages kindness, respect, and teamwork, and this is reflected in the friendships our daughters and we have formed. The lovely school events bring everyone together and create lasting memories.
We feel truly fortunate to be part of the Seaton House family and are so grateful for the positive, enriching start to our daughters’ education.
Dr Thakkar June 2025
Seaton House School has provided my daughter with a great foundation for the future, from the warmth of the nursery to being well prepared and excited to start secondary school. She leaves a well-rounded, self-assured girl with fond memories and close and supportive friendships formed. The balance between academic achievement and a wholesome school experience is struck so well at Seaton House with wellbeing and the development of life skills seamlessly woven into school life. I would like to make a special mention to Mrs Hossenbux, Mrs Smith and Mr Parker-Tutt for exceptional support with 11+ preparation, helping my daughter secure some fantastic offers.
Dr Bakhsh June 2025
Following a visit to the school’s open day in nursery, we were convinced Seaton House was the right school for our daughter, with a mix of academic focus to bring the best out of each child, but also a nurturing environment that teaches children how to support each other and themselves whilst developing the children’s interests way beyond the curriculum. Seeing the girls interact on that open day is exactly what we’ve seen since. Four years on, we are just as convinced, and more importantly, so is our daughter!
Mrs Mendes June 2025
We trust very few people with our daughter but Seaton House has not only taken care of her as an extended family but made her academically and socially into a very capable young girl. The small class sizes have meant that the children learn to get on with each other and have built very close friendships that will last a lifetime and experiences that such a small school really shouldn’t be able to offer but does, all the time. The staff are always approachable and do everything they can for the girls and there’s a mutual respect between the teachers and parents, we all work hard for the girls and we get excellent results in return. As well as the great academics, there is excellent sports and drama provision and plenty of exciting school trips and visitors to keep the girls excited and engaged. We couldn’t have chosen a better school.
Mr Melikian July 2024
Seaton House is a superbly led school that has enabled my daughter to explore, develop and succeed.
Dr Betteridge July 2024
In 2014 Miriam joined Seaton House Nursery aged 3 and now Kitty approaches her final day just a couple of days shy of her 11th birthday. That means our journey with Seaton House has been just over a decade and I can’t believe how quickly it has gone. None of us are particularly adept at goodbyes but I wanted to say how grateful I am to all of you for providing the firmest yet springiest of foundations for our girls as they spread their wings from childhood to the young women they are today. In the last few days, we have been recalling so many memories created in and around the school. From the Early Years Christmas shows to the West-End quality edition of Matilda, it has been a blast. For a small school, Seaton House has truly punched so far above its weight in terms of the experiences and opportunities it has provided. But most of all, we appreciate the positive energy and kindness that each and every one of you has invested in our girls, alongside encouraging and establishing their curiosity and confidence. Whilst we as parents have muddled through a decade of trying (not always successfully) to do the best for our girls alongside busy jobs, you have been our constant and steadfast partners providing the stability and nurturing atmosphere that we couldn’t always seamlessly maintain ourselves. We are truly grateful.
We leave the Seaton House community tomorrow with fondness for you all and we wish the whole school family every success and happiness as it evolves alongside the next generation of Seaton House girls.
Dr Kirby – July 2024
On our first visit to Seaton House School, we were taken aback by the homely, cosy atmosphere we observed. This atmosphere continued throughout our daughter’s time through Seaton – the school is truly a special place.
The school’s strong academic focus was an incredible bonus. Its talented teachers and staff have set her up well for the future. After her 11+ exams, she received offers from local grammar schools and multiple scholarship offers from renowned private schools, allowing her the flexibility to choose the next best steps.
In addition to academics, the school has encouraged our daughter to grow into a polite, organised, and independent girl. She’s made close friendships and has thoroughly enjoyed her journey through the school.
We feel incredibly fortunate that our daughter was able to spend so many of her formative years at this amazing school.
Mr and Mrs Turner – July 2024
Our daughter will be leaving Seaton House this summer after 9 years being surrounded by her school friends, most supportive and invested teachers and school staff. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Seaton House who taught, supported and inspired her to follow her dreams. The teachings were always insightful and the pastoral care provided was tailored to individual needs. The teachers prepared the girls for the 11+ and independent school exams well, which is reflected in the school table.
She has found a strong group of friends and she is looking forward to spending the summer holidays with them, before joining the secondary school of her choice in September. She is leaving Seaton House with a very heavy heart and tears in her eyes but looks forward to catching up with her friends on a regular basis.
C and I Felzines – July 2024
I am writing to let you know that, as a result of relocation to Hong Kong with work, it is with a heavy heart that we give notice for Sophia to leave Seaton House after the end of the summer term.
She has had a most wonderful journey since joining in lower nursery. Because of the support, gentle care and outstanding teaching you and the team offered to Sophia, it was actually one of the major hesitations in whether or not I accept the relocation opportunity.
Thank you so much – the girls are very lucky (and most don’t even know it!). If miraculously a space is available upon our return to the UK in the next few years, we would very gladly and without hesitation bring Sophia back to Seaton House.
Mr Chan – June 2024
Choosing a primary school for our daughter where academics was at the forefront of our priorities, Seaton House stood out over all the other schools within the area. We cannot begin to express our gratitude and thanks to the Headmaster, teachers and support staff who have nurtured and brought out the very best in her. She is leaving Seaton House this summer to move to Secondary school and we hope that she finds as much happiness and success in her new school as she has done whilst she has attended here.
To the many parents who have to make the decision as to where you send your child, I can assure you that Seaton House will not disappoint and your expectations will be met and more likely be exceeded. For this very reason we had no hesitation in sending our younger daughter to Seaton House.
The greatest strength of the school is by far the teachers and support staff who honestly make this a very unique school. They really are what makes this school so amazing and I cannot begin to thank them enough for everything that they have done for my children.
I wholeheartedly assure anyone reading this testimonial that Seaton House School will not only give your child a great academic start but more importantly be a surrounding that will make them wanting to come to school everyday. As a parent all you can ask for is for your child’s happiness and Seaton House always delivers when it comes to that.
Mr and Mrs Patel June 2024
It is with both a heavy and happy heart that we as a family write this testimonial about Seaton House School. Seaton House has been like a home to our family and three daughters over the past 24 years. There was no doubt which primary school our other girls were going to because our first daughter always felt so happy and confident in the school and made many great friends some of who she still keeps in touch with. And this trend only continued with our other two girls! Not only have they gained a great education but also important social skills which have been so important for their transition to high school and beyond. We really want to use this as an opportunity to say a big thank you to all the staff, past and present, for helping influence who our girls are today. We will truly miss Seaton House.
Mrs Thompson May 2024
This really is an end of an era for our family and what an incredibly special time it has been. Little did I know when I attended Seaton House,1979-1987, that we would have three daughters who would follow in my footsteps.
When our eldest daughter left in 2016, we realised that Seaton House had given her a great foundation on which to build at secondary school and hoped that the twins’ Seaton House journey would be just as positive. In true Seaton House fashion, this great school has not disappointed or failed to deliver and both the girls are leaving here so well-prepared and ready for the challenges of senior school, having had an amazing time too.
As parents and as a family we would just like to say one massive thank you for everything you have done for our three daughters from the moment they joined Nursery as little girls to the confident, polite young ladies they have become, ready for pastures new. The nurturing environment, the outstanding teaching, the strong sense of community and the amazing experiences and opportunities they have had the privilege to be part of have had such a positive and undoubtedly long-lasting impact on them. We know that Seaton House will always be a special place for them and that they will look back at their time here with fondness and gratitude.
We hope the school continues to grow and flourish in the years to come, whilst holding fast to the traditional family and community values that are central to making this small school such a special one.
Mr and Mrs Erasmus July 2023
Just wanted to drop you a quick line to share how pleased we are with the choice to move both our girls to Seaton House this year.
For our eldest daughter it has been wonderful to see just how happy she is in school now. It means the world to us to see her literally run into school in the morning and then coming home keen to share what’s happened in her day. She has loved things like Matilda week and really enjoys Art, VR, ICT and Music lessons and all the extra-curricular activities.
Our younger daughter has also settled incredibly well and loves being in school. She has made friends quickly and her learning is progressing at an amazing rate of knots! Again, she loves the extra-curricular activities and adores Miss McGreevy and Mrs Newton. Turns out a nudge from Miss McGreevy is the way to get anything done, from spelling practice to eating vegetables! We really feel, as parents, that her strengths are seen and that there are huge numbers of opportunities to help her develop and grow.
We also always appreciate the work the office do in responding to emails, chasing down kit and sending photos of the girls in assembly and at events. And it’s always nice that the site staff say hello and goodbye to the girls (and us!) at the beginning and end of every day. It makes for a lovely pastoral atmosphere in which we feel the girls are really known and heard.
Karl & Vicky O’Keeffe July 2023
Words cannot truly express our deep appreciation. Channah wouldn’t have become the person she is today without the guidance and support of wonderful teachers and support staff, as well as Mr. Bates and Mrs. McGreevy of course. Seaton House is absolutely amazing, and we have no hesitation in recommending it to our friends who may consider settling in Sutton.
Ms Cheung July 2023
I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for the commitment and effort that each of you puts into creating a positive and empowering environment for the girls at our school. The work that you do in fostering the growth and development of our young students is truly admirable and it is clear that your dedication is having a tangible impact on their success.
I was particularly impressed at the Parent Rep Meeting by the level of effort that goes into listening to the feedback of parents and maintaining an efficient and effective structure within the school. Your attention to detail and willingness to make meaningful changes in response to parent feedback is a testament to your commitment to excellence.
Once again, I want to extend my deepest thanks for all that you do to support the girls and families at Seaton House. I look forward to continuing to work with each of you to ensure that our school continues to be a place where students can thrive.
