Do you think parents should be able to say, "The school has done everything well and has excelled our hopes and dreams." and "I think as a school they give a great warmth to pupils and to parents and carers when on site and in all their communication. The school staff are very kind and helpful at all times. I feel the school as a whole is a nice place to be".
