"Average Experience"

While we've been generally pleased with our experience at Benson CofE Primary School, we've had some issues with communication between the school and parents. The facilities are good, but sometimes the outdoor play area can get a bit muddy. Overall, it's an okay school, but we're still deciding whether to stay or not.
