"Mixed experience"

We have mixed feelings about our time at Starcross Primary. While the staff are lovely and the facilities are excellent, we sometimes felt that communication from the school could be better. However, we do appreciate the school's commitment to outdoor learning and the impact this has had on our child's physical and mental wellbeing.
