Parents
“Since starting St.Francis’ my child has been so happy. Thank you all. This is such a special place.”
“I am in awe of how all staff in the school keep so enthusiastic. I can tell that everyone in school loves their job and the children know it too, that’s why they love coming here.”
“The children are superb in church. We love coming to Family Mass. There is such enthusiasm and spirit. Thank you.”
“St.Francis’ is a place of warmth and nurture. Every child is counted and cared for equally and we couldn’t be more over the moon with the progress both children are making here.”
“What an amazing place. I can’t believe just how much the children do here. I wanted to go round all classes but the time flew and I was enjoying myself so much I didn’t get chance”(parent joining in with child’s learning at open afternoon)
“There is something for all children here. The children are so lucky to have such an amazing staff team. You are all absolutely incredible.”
“I can’t wait for my youngest child to start. The school displays are such a celebration of the individual child and it looks like brilliant fun.”
“I love the way the upper juniors have the same amount of creativity as the rest of the school. They love learning and can’t wait to talk about science experiments and history. There is a real balance of subjects and the children really get stuck in!”
