"A mixed bag, but overall a good school"

We've had a good experience at Cold Aston, but there have been some ups and downs. The school's focus on mental health and well-being is a strong point, but some of the teaching has been inconsistent. Our child is happy and learning, but we've had to chase up some issues with the school. Samantha G, Parent of Year 5 child, 2021-03-18
