"Some positives, but room for improvement"

We've had a mixed experience with Sandy Lane Primary School. On the plus side, the school lunches are delicious, and the playgrounds are great. However, we've noticed that the school can be a bit disorganized at times, and communication with parents could be better. We're hoping things will improve as the year goes on.
