Caversham Preparatory School
Reviews and Complaints

My child didn't enjoy this school, the school was failing in many respects. It isn't a place I see as providing an adequate level of care and education. Despite the school being the cause of most of the issues, there was still a big nasty surprise on leaving. The bursar is not fair and not someone a decent person would want to interact with.

I have to agree the husband and wife team of the Lawson's one being the head and the other being the burser are a pair of psychopaths. Mrs trying to run the school in a backwards way to obtain the best results at the cost of your child for her own benefit. Mr trying to milk as much money from the parents as possible from this obviously failing enterprise. Best completely avoided.

I guess the facts speak for themselves if you buy a business that has no planning permission, then you are a fool!
I guess the facts speak for themselves, if you borrow as a morgage circa 250, 000 pound from H.S.B.C and have no planning permission to operate the site as a school.you are a fool!
If you then operate the school and are aware the Public Liability and Insurance is void, then you are a fool!
If you think you dan hood wink another council as you have before then you are a fool as most councils are all honest and above board and cannot be influenced by crooked business men!
If as it is documented the Caversham Preparatory School has no planning permission and has been refused twice by Reading Planning Department, then there is no option but to close the school at the next end of term and refund all the parents along with the substantial compensation they are deserve, based an the deception of the facts that have been conveyed to them by Ian Lawson the Bursar and sole director and shareholder of Innova Schools Limited.
Unless he goes bankrupt again and does a runner "again"

Just seen in the local press that the Caversham Preparatory school has just lost its last ditch attempt to get legal planning permission to operate the site as a school.
Looks like the idiot Ian Lawson running the company Innova Schools Limited obvously jas never run a succesfull business if he buys a school with no planning permission.
Guess he can always sell the old materials if he has to bull doze it all down.
Best he stick to being a shopkeeper or a Lolly Pop Man as business is obviously not his key skills.

I had problems with the school also, as well a waste of money it caused a lot of stress for my children and family. I don't believing in paying for a substandard service that has a bad effect on the happiness and well being of my children.

The bursar is so dishonest, stay away from Caversham Preparatory School.
Awful place for children.They also put lots of preassure in children and teacher to get the best results for themselves.

I had a similar experience with the bursar of this school extremely unfair and in all respects a bully. I can only suggest to look elsewhere unless you want a nasty surprise.

Doing business with the school is a massive liability, there is no sense of fairness they will only seek to take you down for as much as possible. I would strongly suggest to look elsewhere rather than do business in anyway with this school.
