"Room for Improvement in Communication"

We've been pleased with the education our son has received at RAF Benson Community Primary School, but we've sometimes struggled with communication from the school. For example, we didn't receive as much notice as we would have liked about some school events. However, the teachers are generally very supportive and the school's values are great.

"Friendly and Supportive School for Our Family"

We've been so grateful to have our daughter attend RAF Benson Community Primary School. The staff are always happy to help and the facilities are excellent. We particularly appreciate the strong emphasis on British values and the support they offer to children with parents away on deployment.

"Wonderful School Experience for Our Children"

We had two children attend RAF Benson Community Primary School and they both had a fantastic time. The school's approach to learning is engaging and child-led, and the staff are always looking for ways to support the children's development. We're so grateful for the wonderful community that the school fosters.
