"Worst food ever"

My son ate mash potato and burnt his throat trying to swallow it. He then felt sick and did not want today if so he only had one sausage and a mini Yorkshire pudding.

"Love this school!"

My child loves St Margarets and I can see why. The values are amazing and the staff are always supportive. The after-school clubs are also a great way to keep our little ones engaged and active.

"A Home away from Home"

I'm so grateful to have St Margarets as a part of our family. The facilities are always spotless and the teachers are truly dedicated to the children's education. My child has flourished in this school and I couldn't be prouder.

"A mixed bag"

We had a good experience at St Margarets, but it wasn't all smooth sailing. The school does have a lot to offer, but we found the communication between teachers and parents to be a bit hit-or-miss at times.
