"Good but Room for Improvement"

We had a good experience at Funtington Primary, but there were a few issues with communication and organisation. The curriculum was engaging, but sometimes the teaching felt a bit hit-or-miss. Overall, we're glad we chose the school, but there's definitely room for improvement.
