## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A true gem!: My son attended St Mary's from nursery to Year 6 and we loved every minute of it. The school's values of 'Believe in better' really shine through in the way the teachers support and challenge the children. We're so grateful for the amazing education and experiences he had. *(Jun 2023)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic school experience!: I've been thoroughly impressed with St Mary's since my daughter started in reception. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the facilities are excellent. We've particularly enjoyed the weekly assemblies and the emphasis on character development. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings: We've been at St Mary's for a year now and while the school has its strengths, we're not entirely happy with the communication from the teachers. The facilities are great and the kids seem to enjoy the classes, but we feel like we're not always in the loop with what's going on. *(Feb 2022)*
