"A True Community Spirit"

I was blown away by the sense of community at St Mary's Catholic Voluntary Academy. My child has thrived in the happy and purposeful environment, and I've made some great friends along the way. The new build is fantastic, and the teachers are dedicated to their work. We feel so lucky to be a part of this amazing school!

"A School that Truly Cares"

St Mary's has been a game-changer for our family. The teachers are incredibly supportive, and the values-based programs have really helped my child develop a strong sense of self. We love the green initiatives, too - it's wonderful to see a school making a real difference in the community!

"A Few Growing Pains"

We've had a mixed experience with St Mary's so far. The facilities are amazing, and the teachers are generally great. However, we've had a few issues with communication and organisation. We're hoping that these will be ironed out as the school continues to grow and develop.

"A Great Education in a Catholic Environment"

I was worried that our family would struggle with the Catholic ethos, but the staff and governors at St Mary's made us feel so welcome. My child received an excellent education and made some wonderful friends. The open days are a great way to get a feel for the school before applying - we highly recommend them!
