"Alright school"

School is okay, teachers are nice and friendly, the support system could’ve been better when I was there. Things may of changed since I was a student but from my experience everything was nice :) but the support system for children could’ve been handled better

"Some Great Aspects, Room for Improvement"

We love the school's focus on kindness and respect, and our child has made some great friends. However, we've found the communication with teachers to be a bit patchy at times. Perhaps more regular updates on what they're learning would be helpful.

"Wonderful School, Excellent Leadership"

We moved away last year but our time at St Philip's was truly special. The headteacher, Jo Coppens, is outstanding and sets a fantastic example to the children. The school's commitment to Christianity is genuine and has a positive impact on the children's character.
