"Generally a good school, but some issues with communication"

We have been generally pleased with Our Lady and St Benedict Catholic Academy, but there have been a few instances where communication with the school has been lacking. However, the teachers and staff are kind and dedicated, and the school's facilities are excellent. We hope that the school will work on improving its communication with parents in the future.
