"A Perfect Fit for Our Family"

We transferred to St Mary's Bentworth from another school and I must say, it has been a game-changer for our family. The facilities are top-notch and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The values of love, respect, and belonging really shine through in everything they do. Our child has thrived here and we couldn't be more grateful.

"A Lovely School, But Room for Improvement"

We've been at St Mary's Bentworth for a year now and overall, we're very happy. The school has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are great with the children. However, we've noticed that the communication between teachers and parents could be better. We've also had a few issues with the online portal, but these are minor complaints. Our child is happy and learning lots, so that's all that matters!

"A Truly Special Place"

We were at St Mary's Bentworth for three years and it was an absolute delight. The governors are dedicated and passionate about the school, and it shows in everything they do. Our child flourished here and made lifelong friends. We're so grateful for the time we spent at St Mary's and would highly recommend it to anyone.
