"Wonderful school for my children"

We've been at St Barnabas and St Paul's for 5 years now and it's been an absolute pleasure. The staff are kind, caring and really make an effort to get to know each child. I love the emphasis on Christian values and how they're woven into every aspect of school life.

"Love the focus on well-being"

I've been really impressed with the focus on well-being at St Barnabas and St Paul's. The staff always seem to know how to support my child when they're feeling anxious or overwhelmed. The values of hope, forgiveness and perseverance are all so important and I feel confident that they're being taught in a way that's relevant to my child's life.

"Some mixed feelings"

We've been at St Barnabas and St Paul's for a couple of years now and I have some mixed feelings. On the one hand, the teachers are all very nice and my child is happy at school. On the other hand, I do think the curriculum could be a bit more engaging and I'm not always sure what's going on in class. We're going to stick it out for now, but I'm not entirely convinced it's the right school for us.
