"Mixed Experience"

Overall, we've had a mixed experience at Notley Green Primary School. Some of the teachers have been excellent, but others have been less effective. We've also had some issues with communication and organisation, which has made things difficult at times. However, we do appreciate the school's focus on outdoor learning and their commitment to the local community.
