"Our daughter loves St Mary's!"

We've been so impressed with the school's commitment to outdoor play and learning. Our daughter loves joining her friends for Big Pit World Science Day and all the other fun activities. The staff are friendly and supportive, and we feel confident that our daughter is getting a great education.

"Mixed feelings about the school"

We've been at the school for a few months now, and it's been a bit of a mixed bag. Some of the teachers are lovely, but others seem a bit disorganized. The nursery provision is great, but we're not sure about the school's approach to homework and assessment. We're still deciding whether to stay or not.

"Excellent nursery experience"

My child attended the Caterpillars nursery at St Mary's and had a fantastic time. The staff were caring and engaging, and the nursery provided a great introduction to school life. We were pleased to see our child develop their social skills and confidence.
