I am black African woman and both my girls went to the school. My children never experience any racism from both the staff and the children. This is brilliant school. The headteacher lead by example he knows every child that passes through those gates . My older daughter is in high school now but still go back to visit because she really enjoyed being there. I woul recommend the school to any of my friends

Having worked at St Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic school as a trainee teacher (I am a former academic) all I can say is that this school defines outstanding. The headmaster is in school at 7 o'clock (or thereabouts) every morning to make toast for children at the breakfast club; the school staff follows this wonderful example. They simply love the children. All children, regardless of background, are treated with love, care, respect and friendship. It was an honour to work there. Please keep up this amazing work. Some of the comments here are awful ('Bella Bella' - anonymous guff). The fact that you have not been willing to put your name in a public forum highlights this. Dr. Ashley McCormick

My son is in nursery here, apart from the administrative side of the school, I cannot fault them. They appear wholly inclusive of all children, no matter their ethnic, religious or social background. I cannot understand other reviews stating that foreign children are treated differently, my son is of mixed European race and speaks the foreign language as much as English, he is treated no better and no worse than any other child.
