"Good but Room for Improvement"

We had a generally positive experience at Castle Acre C of E Primary Academy, particularly with the sports programs and music lessons. However, we did find the school uniform policy a bit restrictive and the homework load could be more balanced. Overall, a good school but could benefit from some tweaks.
