"Some positive aspects, but room for improvement"

We've been at St Peter's for a year now and while it's been okay, I'm not entirely convinced it's the right school for us. The teachers are generally nice and the facilities are good, but I've had some concerns about communication from the school and the lack of clear information about what's going on. I'm hoping things will improve as my child gets older.

We've been at St Peter's for a few years now and I have to say it's been an incredible experience. The school's commitment to Catholic values is evident in everything they do and the staff are genuinely dedicated to helping children grow and learn. The school's approach to inclusivity and respect for all is fantastic.

"A lovely school with great values"

My child went to St Peter's a few years ago and it was a wonderful experience. The teachers were great and the school's focus on respect and kindness was really important to me. My child had a great time and made some wonderful friends. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the school's communication could sometimes be a bit patchy.
