## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Generally a good school: We had a generally positive experience at Puddletown First School, but sometimes felt that the school didn't communicate well with parents. The facilities are good and the staff are friendly, but we did have some issues with bullying when our child was there. Overall, it's a nice school with some great staff, but could do with some improvements. *(Mar 2023)*
