Hi, I was wondering if any of you have experience with St. Catherine’s, Beaver Road And Moor Allerton?Which would you recommend? Am looking at those three options but would really appreciate some feedback from mums who have kids there.
Did a tour of SC and thought it had a lovely atmosphere although quite small, MA facilities are very good And curriculum and extracurricular activities great but very hard to tell Atmosphere when visiting as no pupils around. Haven’t seen BR as tours cancelled due to COVID but the new facilities look fantastic although class sizes are quite large.
Thanks in advance for your help, I’m new to the area so your honest input would mean a lot!

Most of the state primaries in Didsbury are good so I wouldn't rush to spend money on Moor Allerton Prep. Beaver Rd is big but that means there is lots going on. Split site can be awkward if you have more than 1 child but they do stagger the drop off times. I don't know much about St Catherines but have heard good things. Smaller than BR. Have you considered West Didsbury CofE? They have excellent outdoor space and great staff in a lovely new building. St Pauls in Withington is a lovely, small, nurturing school that is also worth looking at.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! Flowers Will certainly have a look at CofE and St. Paul’s.
Am a bit worried that the classes at Beaver Road might be too big but the new facilities do look fantastic.
