"Some issues with communication, but great teachers"

We've been generally happy with Richard Lee, but there have been a few occasions where we've felt a bit left in the dark about what's going on. The teachers are all great, though - my child loves their Year 4 class and is really learning a lot. It's just a shame about the communication sometimes.

"Great school with great values"

We were a bit worried about our child starting big school, but Richard Lee has been a revelation. The staff are all so friendly and supportive, and the emphasis on kindness, unity and honesty really resonates with us. Our child loves the variety of clubs and activities on offer and is thriving in their new class.
