## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful school with caring staff!: We moved to the area 2 years ago and our children have settled in so well at St Matthew's. The staff are friendly and caring, and we love the emphasis on faith and values. The facilities are great and the children are always happy to come home and tell us about their day. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent school with a great community: We have been at St Matthew's for a few years now and love the sense of community here. The teachers are supportive and the children are encouraged to learn and grow. We appreciate the focus on mental health and wellbeing, and the online safety program has been really helpful. *(Jan 2021)*
- **4/5** — Mixed experience, but some positives: We left St Matthew's a few years ago, but our children still talk about the school and the friends they made. While the school has some great qualities, such as the Brunel Nursery, we had some issues with communication between teachers and parents. Overall, it's a good school, but not perfect. *(Jul 2019)*
