"Excellent education, lovely staff"
We were very happy with Buckland St Mary when our child was a pupil. The teachers were always approachable and the school's focus on character development was impressive. We were sad to leave the school, but our child was well-prepared for secondary school. The only thing that might improve is the lunch menu!
