"Excellent school with a loving community"

We are so grateful to have found Eccleston St Mary's. The Forest School and Woodland Lodge have been a game-changer for our child's learning and confidence. The values of perseverance and resilience are something we can see being taught and embodied by the whole school.

"A warm and welcoming school community"

We've been impressed by the way the school fosters a sense of community and responsibility. Our child has thrived in their Reception year and we're looking forward to seeing them develop in Years to come. The charity work and extra-curricular activities are also a great addition.

"Some lovely aspects, but communication could be better"

We love the ethos of Eccleston St Mary's and the commitment to outdoor learning. However, we've found communication with the school to be a bit patchy at times. Our child has enjoyed their time here, but we've had to chase up on a few issues.
