I didn't realize how good the school was until I left.

It's an excellent education at a reasonable price. Close Quote

This is an absolutely fabulous school to go to. The vast majority of students attending Mepham High School manage to get into good colleges. The staff and teachers are caring, considerate, and above all else, competent at what they do. There are hardly any teachers that will make it truly difficult for students to do poorly, let alone fail.
I graduated this year, so as a former alumni, I look forward to seeing how my sister and brother do here. Close Quote
