"Generally Very Positive Experience"

We've been generally very happy with Southfield Junior School. The school has a great atmosphere and the staff are friendly and approachable. My child enjoys the curriculum and the woodland area is a lovely addition. However, there have been a few issues with communication with the school at times, which has been frustrating.
