"Overall great experience, but some areas for improvement!"

We've been at St Helen's for a year now and have been generally very happy. The school has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are great. However, we've noticed that the class sizes can be a bit large and the school meals could be improved. Still, we feel our child is happy and thriving, and that's what matters most!

We've been at St Helen's for 3 years now and it's been an incredible experience for our child. The facilities are fantastic, especially the adventure playgrounds and nature area. The staff are always friendly and supportive, and the values of respect and kindness are truly embedded in everything they do. We feel so lucky to be part of this wonderful community!
