"Mixed feelings about our experience"

We've had a mixed experience with St Gildas so far. My child is happy and enjoys the school, but we've had some issues with communication and organisation. The facilities are good, but I've noticed that the school could do more to engage with parents and provide updates on what's happening. Overall, I'm hoping that things will improve as my child settles in.

"A Home away from Home"

My child has been at St Gildas for 2 years now and I couldn't be happier with the care and education they receive. The teachers are kind and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. I particularly love the emphasis on 'Care, Courtesy, Consideration and Congratulations' which is evident in everything the school does.

"Excellent school with a warm community"

We moved to Yeovil a few years ago and were initially worried about finding a school that would suit our children. St Gildas exceeded all our expectations. The school has a wonderful community feel and the staff are always willing to listen and offer support. My eldest child has now moved on to secondary school, but my youngest is thriving in Year 4.
