We were blown away by the warm welcome and support from the staff at St Andrew's. The forest school for Reception aged children is a highlight for our little one. We've seen such a growth in confidence and independence.

"Excellent education, caring community"
Our child thrived at St Andrew's, and we credit the school's focus on emotional well-being and excellent adult and pupil relationships for her success. The after-school wraparound care was a lifesaver for us working parents.

"Some great aspects, but room for improvement"
We've been pleased with some aspects of St Andrew's, such as the Montessori approach and the enthusiasm of the teachers. However, we've encountered some challenges with communication between home and school, which we hope will be addressed.
