"Some positives, but room for improvement"
We've had a mixed experience at John Harrison. On the one hand, our child has enjoyed the STEM Club and the school's approach to mental health and wellbeing. However, we've experienced some communication breakdowns between staff and parents, which has caused us some frustration.
