- **4/5** — Good school, but some areas for improvement: We moved to the area a few years ago and decided to send our children to Breckland School. Overall, we've been happy with the experience, but there have been a few concerns with communication from the school. The facilities are great, especially the sports hall, and the teachers are mostly supportive. I think the school could improve in terms of keeping parents informed about their child's progress. *(Feb 2022)*
