"Great Experience, but Some Room for Improvement"

We had a great experience at Thomas Barnes Primary School when our child was in Year 2. The facilities are excellent and the staff are friendly. However, we did find that the school could improve on communication with parents - we often felt left in the dark about upcoming events and deadlines.
