"Good but room for improvement"

We have mixed feelings about Petteril Bank School. The teachers are supportive and the facilities are good, but sometimes we feel communication is lacking. Our child enjoys attending school and we appreciate the extra-curricular activities available. However, we would like to see more opportunities for parental involvement.
