## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — An Amazing School for Our Child: We absolutely love St Mary's C of E Primary Academy! From the moment our child started in Reception, we've been blown away by the caring and ambitious approach of the teachers. The facilities are excellent and the school's values of love, peace, and hope are something we can really get behind. Our child has thrived here and we couldn't be happier. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings About Our Experience: We've had a mixed experience at St Mary's. On the one hand, our child has really enjoyed the school and the teachers have been supportive. However, we've sometimes felt that the school could do more to communicate with parents and we've had some issues with the school's approach to behaviour management. We're hoping that things will improve in the future. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great Place for Our Child to Learn: We were so happy to send our child to St Mary's and it was a great choice for us. The school's focus on phonics, maths, and science is excellent and we were impressed by the wide range of extracurricular activities on offer. Our child made some wonderful friends and we appreciated the sense of community at the school. We only moved away, not the school! *(Jul 2021)*
