"A Great School with Room for Improvement"

We chose St Mary of Charity Primary School for its inclusive atmosphere and commitment to Christian values. While it's been a great experience so far, we've noticed that the school could benefit from more resources for special needs children. Overall, it's a great school with a lot of potential!
