"Some great aspects, but a few concerns"

I've been impressed with the enthusiasm and dedication of the staff, as well as the variety of activities and programs available (loved the NSPCC Numbers Day!). However, I do feel that the class sizes are a bit large and the communication from the school could be improved. Overall, it's been an okay experience so far.

"A wonderful school community!"

I'm so grateful to have found St Mary's. The staff are kind and supportive, the facilities are excellent (loving the new forest school area!), and I love how they encourage our children to be kind and compassionate towards others. My daughter has thrived here.

"A fantastic education and community"

My wife and I were so impressed with St Mary's when our children attended. The teachers were outstanding, the facilities were modern and well-maintained, and the values of kindness, respect, and hard work were instilled in our children from the very start. I've recommended this school to everyone I know!
