"Mixed feelings about the school"

We've had a mixed experience with St Philip Howard Catholic School. On the one hand, our child has received a good education and the values they've been taught have been positive. However, we've sometimes found the communication with teachers to be poor and the school's focus on exams can be a bit too intense at times.
