"Some Issues with Communication"

We had a generally positive experience at Great Casterton CE Primary School, but there were a few times when we felt that communication between the school and parents could be improved. That being said, our child thrived here and we're grateful for the opportunities they were given. The outdoor space is also a highlight.
