## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful school, lovely staff!: My son has been at St Christopher's since reception and we couldn't be happier. The school's values of faith, friendship, and kindness really shine through in the way the staff and children treat each other. The SUMO program has also been a game-changer in helping us manage my son's anxiety. Highly recommend! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent education and care: Both my children have thrived at St Christopher's. The school's focus on academic achievement is outstanding, with my eldest scoring well above average in KS2. However, what really sets the school apart is the way the staff support the children's emotional development. The SUMO program has been particularly effective in helping my children manage their mental health. *(Jun 2021)*
- **4/5** — A bit too structured for my taste: I have mixed feelings about St Christopher's. My daughter had a great time there and the school's values really resonated with us. However, I felt that the school was a bit too focused on academics and didn't offer as much creative freedom as I would have liked. That being said, the staff were always friendly and supportive, and my daughter made some wonderful friends. *(Mar 2020)*
