"Mixed Experiences at Avonside School"

While our child has received a good education at Avonside School, we've had some mixed experiences with the staff and facilities. The clinical therapy has been beneficial, but we've had some issues with communication and consistency. We're hoping that these issues will be addressed in the future.
