## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent school!: My daughter has excelled in every way since joining St Mary's, the teachers are fantastic and the facilities are top-notch. From the French tuition to the weekly recorder lessons, every aspect of the curriculum has been tailored to bring out the best in her. We've been so impressed with the school's values of thankfulness, respect, honesty and love, which have been instilled in our child. Can't recommend it enough! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings: We've had a mixed experience at St Mary's, our child has made some great friends and the teachers seem nice, but we've not been entirely impressed with the communication from the school. We've had to chase up information a few times, which can be frustrating. That being said, the school does offer a lot of great activities and resources, such as the tennis coaching and iPads. *(Feb 2022)*
- **5/5** — A wonderful experience: Our son attended St Mary's from Reception to Year 5, and we couldn't be more pleased with the care and education he received. The school's emphasis on mental health and wellbeing really stood out, particularly during the transition to secondary school. We've heard great things about the new extension and all the extra resources available to the children. *(Jun 2021)*
