"Good but room for improvement"

We've had a good experience at Dore Primary School, but there are a few areas where we feel the school could improve. The staff are friendly and the facilities are okay, but we've noticed that some of the resources could be updated. Our child is happy, but we've had to fight a bit to get them the support they need.
