## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A wonderful school with a loving community: My child has been attending St Mary's for two years now and we couldn't be happier. The teachers are kind, supportive and do an excellent job of teaching the children. The school's values of Peace, Friendship, Respect, Trust and Perseverance are deeply ingrained in the children's daily lives and I love seeing them put these values into practice. We feel very lucky to be a part of this school community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A great school with some minor issues: We have been at St Mary's for three years now and overall, we have been very happy. The school has a wonderful atmosphere and the children are always smiling. However, we have noticed that the school could improve on communication with parents - sometimes we feel left out of important events and decisions. Nevertheless, we love the school's Christian ethos and the values it teaches the children. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — A school that truly cares: My child attended St Mary's from Reception to Year 2 and we were blown away by the level of care and support they received. The teachers are passionate, dedicated and go above and beyond to ensure each child reaches their full potential. We still keep in touch with some of the teachers and they remain close friends to this day. We would highly recommend St Mary's to any parent looking for a school that truly cares. *(Mar 2022)*
