"Mixed feelings about the school"

I've had mixed experiences with James Watt Primary. The teachers are generally nice, but I've found the communication to be a bit patchy at times. My child enjoys the school, but I'm not sure if it's the right fit for our family.

"Lovely school with a strong community"

My child went to James Watt Primary a few years ago, and I was impressed by the warm and welcoming community. The teachers were always approachable, and the school's focus on Handsworth values really made a difference to my child's development. My only criticism is that the school could improve its communication with parents.
