We have been so impressed with the care and education our child has received at Welwyn St Mary's. The facilities are excellent, particularly the playgrounds and the outdoor classroom. The school's values of respect and compassion are really evident in the way the teachers and staff treat the children.

"Great School, but some room for improvement"
We've been really happy with our child's experience at Welwyn St Mary's so far. The PTFA events are a highlight, and the school's commitment to the arts and sports is fantastic. However, we've noticed that sometimes the school can be a bit disorganised, and communication with parents could be improved.
