Mrs Murdoch
Lily Murdoch is applying to Cambridge
“We came to Seaford College for an Open Morning and were absolutely wowed with the
quality and friendliness of the staff. Seaford is a fantastic school for academic children but
at the same time, it’s about having a balanced life — “working hard and playing hard”,
as Mr Green says - and Seaford gets the balance right. You can have all the resources in
the world and it won’t make a difference if the staff don’t care, and I think all the staff here
genuinely care. They’ve all gone over and above for Lily. They’ve nurtured her, she hasn’t
felt under pressure - she has achieved these grades with a smile on her face.
So it’s not just the academic, it’s about relationships, and if the relationships are right
then you do well, don’t you? Lily has got really good friends, and professional but very
deep relationships with her teachers because she knows how much they care. She was
working for them as much as for herself. We have been delighted with the school; it’s like
a genuine family, and Lily wouldn’t have done any better anywhere else.”
