"Some Good, Some Not So Good"

My child has been at The Croft Primary for a couple of years now and while there have been some really positive experiences, there have also been some disappointments. The teaching can be a bit inconsistent and the school meals aren't always great. However, the staff are generally friendly and supportive.
