"5* School with wonderful staff and facilities"

Emily W, Parent of Year 2 child. I've been thoroughly impressed with the school's facilities, staff and values since my child started. The Forest School program has been a great experience for them and they've thrived at the school. The values of empowerment, ambition, collaboration and positivity are truly evident in the children's behavior and attitudes.

"Amazing school with wonderful values and staff"

Tom D, Parent of Year 1 child. I'm so grateful to have my child at St Mary's. The staff are all very supportive and the values of the school are truly inspiring. The children are encouraged to be their best selves and to work together as a team. I've seen my child grow and thrive at the school and I couldn't be happier with their progress.

"Good school with some minor issues"

David B, Parent of Year 5 child. My child has been attending the school for a few years now and I've been generally pleased with the progress they've made. The school's commitment to the UK-Ukraine Partnership is impressive and I'm proud to support it. However, I do feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and share information about what's happening in the classroom.

"Excellent nursery and transition to primary school"

Lauren S, Former parent. My child attended the nursery at St Mary's and then transitioned to the primary school. The staff were always supportive and helpful, and the values of the school were clearly evident in the way the children were encouraged to behave and learn. I would definitely recommend the school to other parents.
