I love how friendly everyone is and how helpful they are to all children - nothing is a burden and nothing is too much to ask.
St Hild's school has helped my son so much since he started. He has improved so much in his work and in himself.
The staff are very helpful with everything you ask for at Reception. When you are down, the staff cheer you up. Thanks you for everything you do for me and my kids.
Thank you for all of the wonderful work you all do. Mrs Shotton on Reception is amazing. All the teachers do a fantastic job and everyone is so welcoming on the gate on a morning. All of the staff make the school so warm for the children and their families. You are all fabulous - well done.
All the teachers throughout all our children's time at St Hild's have been supportive, helpful and caring. You make it a great place to come.
I appreciate your open door policy - there is always someone available to listen whenever there are any questions or concerns and things are dealt with quickly. Nothing is too much trouble.
My child says he loves this school. I came here myself as a child and it still feels like a lovely family school.
My child said, "I love my school because I like my teacher."
I like the fact that you have school meal samples available for parents during Open Evenings so we can taste the food they are given at lunch time. I tried the pasta and it was absolutely lovely.

We are so thankful for St Hild's and the care they show our family. Mrs Scott in Nursery has been so accommodating to our daughter who has found the first days of school a little overwhelming. We truly couldn't ask for a better Early Years and Reception Team. Thank you.

I came into school today to take individual photos and sibling photos of the kids in all of the classes. The kids were all well behaved and its been a great day. Thanks

Thank you to all the children and staff at St Hild's College Primary School. You were a pleasure to work with and made me feel so welcome in your school. To say it rained on the day of your workshop is an understatement! I am just so pleased that you were prepared with all the waterproof trousers and coats in school and more importantly the resilience of the children to weave the willow trees in the rain. Thank you again to all the children, you listened so well, helped each other to learn a new skill and created some beautiful leaves to go on your school trees. Also, it was lovely to work with so many classes in one day, thank you for creating the timetable as the day ran so smoothly.

I was also impressed with their beautiful manners, excellent listening skills, resilience shown when skills got tricky and their kindness and encouragement towards each other during the paired and long rope skipping skills. It’s been a joy to skip with them today. Wishing you all a lovely summer holiday. Best wishes Gail Gail Robinson Skipping School Coach

I had the pleasure of visiting your School yesterday.
As part of my role I am required to visit numerous educational establishments and I feel compelled to let you know that yours stands out.
On each and every occasion I have visited I have been welcomed into your School family with enthusiasm by staff hungry to get the children the help and support they need.
I have met with yourself, with your teaching staff, and support staff and everyone without exception has been a credit to the School.
I have observed warm and nurturing interactions between staff and Children,
and I have witnessed meaningful conversations with staff members taking the time to make sure that your children feel valued, and are encouraged to be the best they can be.
Well done all at St Hilds!
