"A Good, but Not Exceptional Experience"

We had a generally positive experience at Axminster Community Primary Academy, but there were some areas where we felt the school could improve. The facilities were great, and the staff were mostly supportive, but we felt that the school could do more to engage with parents and involve us in decision-making processes.
