"Excellent Catholic School!"

We've been at Cardinal Wiseman for 5 years now and it's been an amazing experience. The staff are so supportive and the values they teach are exactly what we want for our children. The school's facilities are excellent and my child is really thriving. I would highly recommend!

"Mixed feelings about the school"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Cardinal Wiseman. My child has been at the school for 3 years and while the staff are all so friendly and welcoming, I think the school could do more to support children with special needs. Also, I'm not entirely sure about the school's approach to homework and learning. Overall, I think it's a good school but it's not without its challenges.

"Great school with a great ethos!"

We've been at Cardinal Wiseman for 2 years now and I'm so impressed with the school's ethos and values. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and my child is really enjoying the lessons. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that I think the school could do more to engage with parents.

"Wonderful experience!"

I have two children who went through Cardinal Wiseman and we had a wonderful experience. The school's Catholic values really came alive and my children were well supported throughout their time there. The facilities are excellent and the staff are all so dedicated. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that I think the school could do more to support children with special needs.
