Cofton Primary School

Wootton Rd, Birmingham B31 4ST, UK – 0121 475 3374

I currently work here as a trained volunteer. The school is an inspiring place to be - lots of additional activities taking place alongside the required curriculum. My own experience when in school shows the pupils to be happy, content, polite and willing to learn both academically and in the daily challenges of life. A credit to all staff.

A very good junior and infants school has a play area and large grass fields at the back, within the grounds it has a pre school and out of school club with it's own entrance.

Forestdale Primary School

Rubery, Birmingham B45 0JS, UK – 0121 464 8659

its a good school and children will love it its a fair and honest school if there is someone bullying someone they will take them out of the class and speak to them. Your children may not like the food there but that is there opinion and what they think of teachers is their opinion but don't start dissing the school over social media

Forestdale is a lovely school and my daughter has flourished there. The staff are friendly and helpful and do their very best for the children in their care. My daughter loves going to school and I am happy that while she is there she is not only recieving a good education, she is in a safe, happy environment where she is encouraged to shine!

I am proud to have studied with Open College. I love the experience and mode of study - Flexibility. They offer loads of courses which are interesting an relevant. Also, their customer service is superb and are very helpful, showing empathy. I have bought 4 courses so far, and I am planning to buy more in future. Thumbs up! Open College UK Ltd, Birmingham.

As a mother of a young child I found my child development psychology course invaluable to me. An excellent course that taught me loads about what not to do when your child has a tantrum. As a result of this course I am having a far better relationship with her now and know how better to handle trying situations when she misbehaves. It is all about knowing their feelings and reading the signs before they flare up. I recommend this course to anyone with a difficult child. The course arrived within a few days and there was always an email response to my question when I needed help. Overall a good service and I would recommend them for homestudy courses in the area that I studied.
