"Good but Room for Improvement"

We have been happy with our experience at St Mary's, but there are a few areas that could be improved. The facilities are excellent, and the wellbeing programs are great. However, communication with the school can be a bit patchy, and we've had some issues with inconsistent teaching quality. Overall, a good school, but not perfect.
