"Saxmundham Primary School is a Gem"

We've had a great experience at Saxmundham Primary School. The school's values of respect and kindness really shine through, and our child has enjoyed participating in the choir and sports teams. However, we did find the communication between teachers and parents to be a bit inconsistent at times.
