"Supportive community"

We feel really supported by the school and the other parents. The school's motto 'Open your mind, open your heart, welcome to success' is really inspiring and we're seeing it in action every day. Our child loves learning and we're so grateful for the opportunities they're having.

"Excellent education"

I was impressed by the school's commitment to phonics and maths. Our child did really well at St Patrick's and we were pleased with the progress they made. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the communication with parents could be better at times.
