"Good School with Some Room for Improvement"

We have been pleased with our experience at Birchington Church of England Primary School, but there have been a few occasions when communication from the school has been lacking. The facilities are great and the staff are friendly, but I feel that the school could benefit from more transparency and regular updates for parents. Overall, we are happy with the school and feel that it provides a good education for our child.
