"Lovely school but some areas for improvement"

We were very happy with our experience at Laxton Junior School, but there were a few areas where we felt the school could improve. The Power of Play program was a highlight for our child, and the sports facilities are excellent. However, we felt that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep them informed.
