"Mixed feelings about our experience"

We had a mixed experience at Whitelands Academy. While the staff were always supportive and the facilities were great, we felt that the school's approach to bullying wasn't as effective as we'd have liked. We're grateful for the education our child received, but we wish there were some improvements in this area.
