"Friendly and inclusive school"

We've been at St. Mary's for a few years now, and I'm consistently impressed with the kindness and understanding shown by the staff and students. The school's emphasis on social and emotional learning is great, and I think it really helps the kids to develop into confident and compassionate young people.

"Excellent school with wonderful values"

I've been impressed with St. Mary's since my child started here. The school's Catholic values and Gospel themes are woven into everyday life, and I love the sense of community and welcome we've felt. The facilities are great too, particularly the Forest School and sensory room.

"Good, but could be improved"

I have mixed feelings about our experience at St. Mary's. On the one hand, our child thrived here and made some great friends, but on the other, we sometimes struggled with communication from the teachers and felt that certain facilities were underutilized.

"A happy and supportive school community"

We've been at St. Mary's for a couple of years now, and I'm consistently impressed with the care and individual attention our child receives. The teachers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the extracurricular activities, like the school choir and sports teams, are a great way for the kids to learn new skills and make friends.
