"Mixed feelings about our time at St Edward's"

We have mixed feelings about our time at St Edward's. On the one hand, the school's Catholic ethos and values are a big plus. On the other hand, we felt that the school could have done more to support our child with SEN needs. Still, we're grateful for the friendships made and memories created.
