“My 3 girls (Years 9 and 11) are all well supported at TDMS. The school tries to progress each and every child, and is interested in all of them, not just the ones who can perform academically.” “For me, it’s the best school by far. They were amazing with my
- lad. It's not as huge as it seems.”
“Years 6-8 at TDMS are effectively still in middle school. My son was very worried going to a big school but the school makes every effort to help and support the new starters.” “We couldn't be more happy with TDMS...have a walk round and decide for yourselves.”
