"Room for improvement"
While my child has been happy at St John Fisher Catholic Primary School, I feel that there is room for improvement in terms of communication with parents. I've had to chase up information on several occasions, which can be frustrating. However, the teachers are generally supportive, and the school's values are commendable.
