## Recent parent reviews

- **3/5** — A good school, but some room for improvement: We've been at St Martin's for a few years now and while we've had some great experiences, there have been a few occasions where we've felt that the school hasn't communicated effectively with parents. The facilities are great, but the school's policies around attendance and punctuality can be a bit strict at times. *(Nov 2023)*
- **5/5** — A great choice for our family: We were a bit nervous about moving our child to a new school, but the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere at St Martin's quickly put us at ease. The school's facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the teachers are all so enthusiastic and dedicated to their work. *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful school and community!: We've been at St Martin's for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier with the education and values my children are receiving. The school's faith-based approach and emphasis on compassion, love, and wisdom really resonates with us. The teachers are all so caring and supportive too. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — A wonderful school experience: We were at St Martin's for 6 years and I have so many fond memories of our time there. The school's emphasis on values such as perseverance and forgiveness really helped shape my children's characters and prepared them for life. The teachers were all so supportive and encouraging too. *(Jun 2022)*
