"Good school, but some teething issues"

We've had a mixed experience at St Mary's so far. The school is lovely and the teachers are generally very good, but we've had some issues with communication andorganisation. The facilities are great and the Forest School program is a highlight.

We moved to the area last year and my child has settled so well at St Mary's. The teachers are all so supportive and the facilities are brilliant. We love the Forest School program and my child is thriving. Can't recommend this school enough!

"Lovely school with great values"

We've been at St Mary's for a few years now and it's been a great experience for our child. The teachers are all so supportive and the school's values of Laugh, Learn, Love are really important to us. The facilities are great and the school's commitment to Catholic values is evident.
