## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — St James is a wonderful school for our children!: We've been with St James for 3 years now, and we've been thoroughly impressed by the dedication and hard work from the staff. The 'IGNITE, EXPLORE, BELIEVE' curriculum really shines through in how engaged our children are in their learning. The nursery and reception classes have been fantastic, with plenty of opportunity for creative play and exploration. We feel very lucky to have found such a caring and inclusive school community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A great school with a lot to offer: My child started at St James this year and we've been really happy with the support and care she's received. The staff are always available to answer questions and offer advice, and the facilities are excellent - the playground is a particular highlight! We appreciate the emphasis on values and character development, and our child has definitely benefited from being part of such a positive and supportive community. *(Jun 2022)*
- **3/5** — Mixed feelings about our experience: We moved to the area 2 years ago and our child started at St James in Reception. While we appreciate the caring and dedicated staff, we've found the school's communication to be a bit patchy at times - we'd often have to chase up information or concerns. However, the curriculum and activities have been engaging and our child has loved their time there. Overall, we're glad we made the transition to St James, but perhaps a bit more consistency in communication would have helped. *(Jan 2022)*
