"Wonderful school with caring staff"

We've been at St Lawrence for 3 years and have been thoroughly impressed with the staff's dedication to our child. The forest school and weekly swimming sessions are a highlight for her, and we love the values they teach.

"Some great aspects, but room for improvement"

We've had a generally positive experience at St Lawrence, but we've noticed some inconsistency in teaching quality and communication from the school. The facilities are great, though, and our child loves the swimming sessions.
