## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Great Community: We've been part of the St Winefride's family for a few years now and I've been consistently impressed with the school. The sense of community is wonderful and the staff go above and beyond to make sure everyone feels welcome. My child loves the school uniform and the opportunities for extracurricular activities are fantastic! *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Home Away from Home: I'm so grateful to have found St Winefride's. The staff are kind, the facilities are excellent and the values are in line with what I want to teach my child. The Catholic ethos is strong and I feel my child is being well-supported in their faith. We love the breakfast club and the after-school activities too! *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Good but Not Outstanding Experience: We've had a mixed experience at St Winefride's so far. The teachers are generally good and the facilities are nice, but we've had some issues with communication and consistency. The Catholic ethos is strong, which is great, but I feel like the school could do more to support children who don't attend mass regularly. Overall, it's an okay school, but it's not been outstanding for us. *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education: I'm so proud of the person my child has become thanks to the education they received at St Winefride's. The school's focus on values and faith has really helped shape their character. The teachers are dedicated and the facilities are top-notch. I couldn't recommend this school highly enough! *(Sep 2021)*
