"Mixed Feelings"

I have mixed feelings about our experience at Westwood with Iford. The school's commitment to outdoor learning and mental health support is really positive, but we felt that the class sizes were a bit too big for our child's needs. Overall, it was a decent experience, but not outstanding.
