"Mixed experience"

We've had a mixed experience at St Ethelbert's. While the staff are caring and the facilities are good, we've found the communication between the school and parents to be inconsistent at times. My child has enjoyed their time here, but I think the school can improve in this area.

"Exceptional education and care"

My children attended St Ethelbert's for 6 years and we couldn't be happier with the education and care they received. The school's commitment to Catholic values and the well-being of each child shone through in every aspect of their education.
