"Some positives, but room for improvement"

So far, our experience of the school has been mixed. My child has settled in well and enjoys their classes, but I have been a bit disappointed with the communication from the school. I've found it difficult to get in touch with teachers and the online portal can be a bit confusing. I hope that these issues will be addressed in the future.

"A great school with a lot to offer"

I am so impressed with the way that the school has supported my child, particularly with their interest in technology. The extracurricular clubs are also fantastic and have helped my child to develop new skills. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that I wish the school could provide more opportunities for parental involvement.
