You are invited to leave a comment, if you wish. A great school! My child is extremely happy and loves Miss Rees My son frequently tells us she doesn't like school and has no friends. My son loves his school loves his teacher and really enjoys it at St pauls My son enjoys learning and feels he has the right support and environment to do so All staff at this school are really helpful and I feel that my child is receiving everything he needs at this school and his teachers have been great at keeping us updated with his school life. Always comes home buzzing with excitement and happy My children have their challenges most days and say they don't like school sometimes. My child absolutely loves the school and is thriving! My child says she doesn’t like school. I think it’s more because the work got harder though if I’m honest. My child loves coming to school. He thrives on absorbing all of his new knowledge and comes home bursting with news. Best school ever and amazing staff. Both of my boys love it! The younger adores Mr Byrne, and my eldest adores Ms Price, they are both wonderful with them. As for the TAs they are outstanding. Both of my children enjoy going to school and like the atmosphere and all the staff. My child - he loves school! Everyday my child is happy to come to school 😁 Excellent school, ran well from top to bottom, both my children have attended this school and only have very positive things to say about the entire school My child has really enjoyed being part of the St Paul’s community. He has been supported very well by Mrs Parfitt in the transferring in from a different school to others. He enjoys everyday! Friendly staff and so helpful. Good school, I am very happy Good school, shame my child is leaving this year and I’m so worried about her joining the secondary school after she has been nurtured while at St Pauls. Had some issues with my child not wanting to go to school the staff were brillant at getting the issues resolved he is much happier thanks for the support Happy most of the time. A bit of bullying can really get her down. He has struggles with anxiety but staff have been amazing helping to come to a solution that now seems to be working for him. I am happy that my child is happy at St Pauls junior school. I am really happy with the progress my child is making at this school, all of his teachers have been lovely and always there to help I am told by my son he doesn’t like school. However goes in and comes home happy. Great facilities and plenty of varied activities, keep the interest of pupils and some great reward opportunities. E.g Matilda and forest school. I feel he has progressed so much since starting St Paul’s! His reading is really coming along and his writing. He has just received his pen licence and he was so thrilled. He loves school and I can only hope this continues! I find it hard to answer that question as I couldn't say for definite that my child is as he very often says he doesn't like school and with him bring Autistic he very rarely talks about his school day as once he has finished that is it. He has friends and gets on well in most subjects but to actually say he is truly happy is a hard question to answer. I have put don't know as sometimes she is and sometimes she isn't. Sometimes she feels she's no listened too or things arnt taken seriously enough. I love this school, keep it up, good teachers - you guys are so welcoming. My child loves going to school. He has some super friends and is achieving in all areas. He loves to receive certificates so enjoys working towards a goal. My child - she would just rather not go to school full stop; she is happy when there! Mostly, but sometimes complains about disruptive behaviour of some students in her class. Mrs Roberts and her team are always so helpful as my child needs a little more support when starting her day in school. My child enjoys coming to school learning new topics and going on exciting trips'.'My experience about this school is pretty good. As a parent I have found the staff, particularly teachers very friendly and approachable. It is pleasant to send my child everyday, who comes home smiling. I particularly want to mention Mr Partridge who strongly impressed me by his ability to address concerns and problems giving his valuable advice, finally I would like to thank all the teachers of my child, over the years. My child feels very comfort at school and leaves it with the smile on his face everyday My child has blossomed since leaving Bowlish and I have found the communication so much better and he is just happier. Thank you for all your support. My child has had some ups and downs in year, but his teacher and the school have helped My child has had some ups and downs in year, but his teacher and the school have helped. She is a happy child and enjoys coming to school. My child has improved so much since starting in Year 3 in Collet. She has loads of confidence and is always happy to come to school. My child is leaving this year and we are so sorry to be going, she has had a fantastic time every year. My child is very happy, the teaching staff are very good at nurturing and developing the children's academic skills as well as social interaction and productive play. My children love st pauls My child's progress is amazing, she really enjoys coming to school. My daughter absolutely loves school, her friendships and her teacher/TAs My daughter absolutely loves St Paul’s. My daughter has moved from another school and is honestly loving her time and has settled so well My daughter joined in year 4 in September. She absolutely loves St Paul's. It's a fantastic school which provides lots of extra things for the children to do. My daughter love St Paul's , every morning so happy to go to school , everyone is kind , atmosphere there is great My kid lovers st.pauls My son has never been happier. My applause to all the teachers who make my sons day a good day. Mr Partridge is an outstanding head teacher. I've never known a head to be so approachable, happy, involved, caring and supportive. My son has never been so happy and eager about going to school My son is happy the majority of the time. However he does often come home saying that he didn’t understand something and there was no adults to support him. I previously voiced my disappointment about the decision made to not have a 4th class for yr6 and still strongly feel it was the wrong decision. I observe many children struggling to attend school and feel smaller classes would have really benefited the yr6’s both emotionally and academically. They have been highlighted as one of the year groups most adversely effected by covid and smaller classes would have hugely benefited them in their final year at St Paul’s, it’s such a shame that so many children have been disadvantaged by your decision. One of the main reason I chose St Paul’s was because of the small class sizes, promoted as low 20’s during the open day, yr6’s have consistently been well over 30. I’m aware that the yr6 cohort is particularly big, which makes it even more disappointing that you didn’t push for 4 classes in their final year. If you really wanted too, you could have recruited, that’s not an acceptable excuse after informing parents previously that after careful budgeting you were pleased to secure funds to be able to offer a 4th class again. Our children are exceptionally happy at St Paul’s. St Paul’s is a school where everything feels safe and supported and structured but also where anything feels possible and imaginations can fly - a fine balance to create! The teachers all play a huge part in creating such a positive, approachable and friendly atmosphere where everyone’s happiness feel important. Seems to always come home happy She often when a friend is sad, the teaching assistant in the class talks to her friend and this makes her happy. Knowing if she was sad someone would be there to talk to her to. Some negative comments from him about playtime behaviour. Being hurt and generally rough play. Sorry for delay in answering but my two children are happy at school. Thank you The headacher's humour really makes everyday a fun day for the children. The school is amazing and helps with all aspects of any aspects of the children's problems they in or out of school The school is brilliant. She finds school difficult. The school itself is wonderful, but sadly my child is not coping with school life, even with the extra provisions that are being put into place They enjoys school and have made lots of friends They seem very happy to go to school Very good school, you have helped my child so much with her confidence and she is much happy now she is in Year 3. We are amazed at the range of school clubs available. Such a great way to make all kids included and find something they enjoy. Brilliant. We have been so impressed with St Paul’s as a supportive, inclusive and progressive learning environment My child has now settled in well into Year 3 at St Paul's and really enjoys the learning as well as additional activities on offer.
