"A wonderful school experience!"

St Mary's has exceeded all my expectations. The outdoor classroom and rewilded forest school area are a highlight for my child. I love the emphasis on faith and values that the school instills in its pupils.

"Mixed feelings about the school"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at St Mary's. On the one hand, the school has some great facilities and the staff are very supportive. On the other hand, we've had some concerns about the quality of teaching in some subjects.
