"Good, but could improve"

I have mixed feelings about St Joseph's Catholic Primary Academy. The school has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are generally very friendly. However, I felt that my child's individual needs were not always met, and the communication between parents and teachers could be better. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I wouldn't recommend it without some reservations.
