## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Lovely school with a caring atmosphere!: We've been at St Matthias for 3 years now and I must say we've had an amazing experience. The staff are so supportive and understanding, always willing to help. The facilities are great too, especially the new library. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Progress is slow but facilities are nice: We moved to St Matthias from another school and have noticed that progress is a bit slower here. However, the facilities are lovely and the staff are friendly. The Windrush Assembly was a great idea, but we're not sure how often these events happen. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — St Matthias Academy exceeded our expectations!: Our son was a student here from 2018-2020 and we couldn't be prouder of the person he's become. The school's emphasis on emotional well-being and personal development really made a difference to him. We've recommended St Matthias to friends and family. *(Jul 2020)*
