"Okay Experience"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Burton Joyce Primary School. The teachers are mostly lovely, but one of them can be a bit strict at times. The facilities are okay, but not as impressive as some other schools I've seen. My child is happy, but I'm not sure if it's the best school for them.
