"Some Strengths, Some Areas for Improvement"
We had a positive experience at St Joseph's, but I felt that the homework could be more consistent, and the communication about targets and progress could be clearer. The staff are friendly, but I think the school could benefit from more parent involvement and feedback mechanisms.
