Lovely people – kind, happy and caring

Much of the teaching is inspirational and this is characterised by very high expectations of the pupils who respond to challenging tasks with enthusiasm and make excellent progress

Good balance between challenge and support

Pupils feel that they are listened to and know that staff take on board what they think

A chance to share prayers and thoughts every day

Children are motivated and behave well. The school atmosphere is peaceful and relaxed

Bathwick St. Mary’s feels more like family than a school. The headmaster and staff are supportive and we feel our three children are well looked after in a nurturing and loving environment. We couldn’t ask for a better school.

Our Arts curriculum and the extra curricular activities really engage pupils, increasing self esteem and maximising progress across all their learning

The fundamentals are quickly and thoroughly learned

I think that the Christian ethos/atmosphere and commitment of staff is wonderful
