St Mary's Catholic Primary School

Experience: The school has been good in general however they have a real issue with bullying the last year and it goes unchecked by the head and some of the teachers who reward bad behaviour which then impacts the other children . The head is quite pally with some of the parents and this isn’t very professional . I don’t think that the school is an inclusive as it should be.
Areas: Behaviour support, Leadership
Impact: My child has felt invisible at times which has affected them wanting to attend school. Confidence has become low as they know that the bully’s won’t get punished
Impact on my child: Confidence, Enjoyment, Academic progress. My child’s confidence has declined while at this school
School responsiveness: Slow or inconsistent
Inclusion support: Very well. The school prioritise send over other children
Summary: The school has let down a few children by allowing bad behaviour of a few to dominate the classroom and it also rewards that’s behaviour

We are absolutely delighted with St Mary's Catholic Primary School! Our child has thrived in this supportive and caring environment, where the school's Catholic values are lived out every day. The teachers are dedicated and go the extra mile to ensure each child reaches their full potential.

We've had a mixed experience at St Mary's. Our child has enjoyed the school's creative curriculum and the staff are friendly, but we've had some issues with communication and consistency in certain classes. We're hoping that these issues will be addressed in the future.

Our two children attended St Mary's and we couldn't be happier with the education and values they received. The school's commitment to Catholicism and community service is outstanding, and we've seen our children grow into compassionate and confident individuals.
