The outdoor learning facilities are a particular highlight, and my child has thrived in the OPAL program. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed experience: We attended St. Mary Cray Primary Academy for two years before moving to a new area. While the staff were always friendly and supportive, I felt that the school could improve its communication with parents, particularly regarding important events and updates. The facilities were generally good, but some areas could benefit from modernization. *(Mar 2022)*
