The staff are so caring and supportive, and the facilities are always being updated. My child loves going to school and the values they are teaching are wonderful. *(Sep 2022)*
- **3/5** — A good school, but room for improvement: We left Holy Cross after 3 years and while it was a good experience, I feel there is room for improvement in terms of communication and organisation. The values and ethos are great, but sometimes it felt like they were not consistently applied. Overall, it was a positive experience for our child, but we felt it was time to move on. *(Jun 2021)*
