We've been so happy at St Helen's. The staff are caring and supportive, and the values-based approach to learning has really helped our child flourish. The facilities are also excellent, with a great playground and a lovely church for special events.

"Mixed feelings"

We're still getting used to the school's format and way of working. While the staff are generally friendly, we've had some issues with communication and finding the right support for our child. That being said, the facilities are lovely and the values are something that we really appreciate. We're hoping to see some improvements as we move forward.

"Shining stars in every way"

Our children attended St Helen's from Reception to Year 6 and had an amazing time. The school's commitment to Christian values and the SHINE curriculum really stood out to us, and we've seen the positive impact it's had on their lives. We're so proud to call ourselves old St Helen's parents!
