"Outstanding School!"

My child has been at St Helen's for 6 years now and I couldn't be prouder of the person they've become. The school has a fantastic reputation in the local community and the staff are all so dedicated to providing the best possible education for the children. My child has thrived in the school's supportive environment and I feel confident that they're well-prepared for secondary school.

"Excellent School, Happy Child!"

My child has been at St Helen's for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier. The staff are all so supportive and caring, and the school's values of respect and kindness are truly evident. My child loves the magic breakfast scheme and the sports facilities are amazing. We feel so lucky to have St Helen's as our school.

"A School That Cares"

I was really impressed with St Helen's when we first visited. The headteacher, Mr Newing, is so warm and welcoming, and the staff all seem to genuinely care about the children. My child has settled in really well and loves the phonics workshops. I've been really impressed with the school's commitment to attendance too.

"Good School, Room for Improvement"

I have mixed feelings about St Helen's. My child attended the school for 2 years and while the teachers were generally good, I felt that the school could have done more to support children with special needs. However, the school's attendance record is excellent and the Mini Police scheme was a great way to engage with the local community.
