"A great school with some minor areas for improvement"

Our child attended Orchard Way Primary School for two years and we were pleased with the education and care they received. The school's approach to learning is engaging and the facilities are excellent. However, we felt that communication with parents could be improved, particularly in regards to updates on our child's progress.
