    Hello
    Am considering sending my kids to St Damiens, looking here all reviews seem to be a good few years old and I have heard not great things about their current principal, can anyone give me any info/experience of ST Damiens?
    Thanks so much

    How do you mean "reviews?" What makes a school good, in your view? As in, what's important to you? Have you visited the school?

    I'm involved in a football team, some of whom go to St. Damiens. All I can say is God help their teachers. No feeder secondary school attached meant we sent our children to another school.

    Used to work in St.Damian's when they had a new principal. Law and order and discipline was completely non existant when I was there. The lack of respect was a disgrace. I didn't want to work there, nevermind send my own children there.

    I had moved from a lovely school 5 minutes down the road.

    It had the potential to be a good school if principal could get control but I can't say if that happened or not in more recent times.
