"Some inconsistencies but overall positive experience"

We've had a mostly positive experience at Fountains CE Primary School, although there have been a few instances of inconsistency with communication and some minor issues with the school's online systems. Our child is happy and engaged, and the teachers are generally very supportive. With a bit more attention to detail, this school could be truly outstanding.
