## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — 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. *(Feb 2023)*
- **5/5** — 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. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — 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! *(Jun 2021)*
