Our child's maths teacher, Mrs Jenkins, has been fantastic, but we've had some issues with communication from the school administration. The facilities are great, but there could be more opportunities for extracurricular activities. *(Sep 2025)* - **5/5** — Wonderful school for our children: We've been impressed with St Andrew's Catholic School from the moment our children started. The teachers are approachable and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. Our child has particularly enjoyed the music department and the sense of community within the school. *(May 2025)* - **4/5** — Great school but you have to put the effort in!: St Andrew's is a high performing school in terms of training the students to pass exams. The head is very relatable and communicates with parents well. Every Friday you will get an email from him highlighting highs and lows of the week. He will also not hesitate to put up with any bad behaviour. Children may find it slightly suffocating with it's tight rules and expectations however, if you want your child to get the best possible grades, then you have to play by the rules! Strict school uniform… *(Jul 2023)* - **1/5** — Disgusting: Disgusting school!! Abseloutly ruined my daughters mental health. They claim to care yet they send children away when they are in need. Some teachers tell you that ‘You will get nowhere in life’. Awful school *(Jun 2023)* - **1/5** — They don’t care about your child: They do not care about the students who are being bullied, they only care about your child if they produce the top grades. I overheard a teacher saying ‘i have to teach bottom sets now - like they are even going to pass’ jokingly, I also overheard a teacher saying to another ‘I love shouting at the girls to get out the toilet it’s so funny seeing them pissed off’. They now lock the toilets between lessons, doesn’t matter if you’re on your period or if you need to go, you aren’t allowed unless it… *(Apr 2023)* - **1/5** — The school environment is not safe and secure, staff don't care.: My daugher lost her brand new winter coat and the whole PE bag in school in a two-month period after the New Year. Her PE teacher just told her to buy a new set. I am dissappinted at school does nothing to stop the stealing. All her lost items are clearly marked with her name on it, she is checking the lost and found regularly, unfortunately, nothing has been returned, it seems her coat and PE bag are stolen. Her school has rules of not allowing the students to carry their coats and bags before … *(Feb 2023)* - **1/5** — Does not care for students as people: I attended for seven years and while I left with good grades also left with emended trauma from the school. multiple times I had been sexually assaulted in front to teachers by male students who did nothing about it. the school offered no support in terms of wellbeing instead pushing me further than they should. The school cares only for grades with this issue lying in charismatic leadership putting on a pretence of being an incredible person who cares abut the students while in truth only carin… *(Jan 2023)* - **2/5** — Stress: Teachers expect students to act like robots and all the same. The no phone rule means that if I get a panic attack I can’t contact my mum or use any apps that help me calm down. They put immense and unhelpful pressure on the students when assessments or exams arrive - it’s unhelpful yet they don’t seem to care. The only bit that’s good is the help at student support and a couple of the teachers. It feels like a jail as there are so many gates that need key pads to be unlocked. Expected to be the… *(Sep 2021)* - **5/5** — Good ish: The school is great and education is amazing here. But the teachers pretend to care about you. You get offered help with mental health issues but they never really go through with it and help you. They have a lot going on, I understand that, but they keep making students regret reaching out for help and they don’t actually get the help they need. Most teachers are friendly though, just some don’t actually care about you as they should. *(Jul 2021)* ## Other schools in Leatherhead - [West Hill School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/leatherhead/west-hill-school-18489) — 3.8/5 (5 reviews) - [Cranmore](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/leatherhead/cranmore-10030) — 4.8/5 (4 reviews) - [Fetcham Village Infant School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/leatherhead/fetcham-village-infant-school-9859) — 4.7/5 (4 reviews) - [St John's School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/leatherhead/st-johns-school-9992) — 4.5/5 (4 reviews) - [Glenesk School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/leatherhead/glenesk-school-10007) — 4.5/5 (4 reviews) - [Therfield School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/leatherhead/therfield-school-18233) — 4.5/5 (4 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
