"Good school, but some areas for improvement"

Our experience at Walkern Primary School has been mostly positive. The staff are friendly, and the facilities are good. However, we've found that the communication with parents could be better. Sometimes we've had to chase up information or issues, which can be frustrating. Overall, it's a good school, but there's room for improvement.
