"Good and bad experiences"

We had a mixed experience at Chipping Norton School. The school's curriculum was engaging, but the communication with parents was sometimes lacking. Our child enjoyed the Duke of Edinburgh's Award program, but the school could improve on providing more detailed feedback.
