"St Mabyn Primary - A Hidden Gem"

We moved to Bodmin a year ago and were hesitant about choosing a new school. St Mabyn Primary exceeded all our expectations. The teachers are warm, welcoming and dedicated. The facilities are impressive, especially the new classroom. We love the Bring It! vision and the emphasis on outdoor learning. Our daughter is thriving and we feel grateful to be part of this community.

"A Great School Experience"

Our children attended St Mabyn Primary from 2018 to 2022. We loved the nurturing environment and the way the teachers encouraged our kids to grow and learn. The Music Mark School credentials were a bonus - our kids loved the music clubs and choirs. We were a bit disappointed with the lack of feedback from teachers, but overall, it was a positive experience.

"Some Positives, Some Areas for Improvement"

We've been at St Mabyn Primary for two years. The staff are generally friendly and the facilities are good. However, we've encountered some issues with communication from the school. We've also found the curriculum to be a bit disjointed at times. That being said, our son is enjoying his time at the school and we appreciate the emphasis on outdoor learning.
