"A good school, but some areas for improvement"

We had a generally positive experience at Shoreham Beach Primary, but felt that the school could do more to support children with SEND. The staff were often overwhelmed and the facilities, while lovely, could be improved. Overall, however, it's a good school that we would recommend to others.
