"Mixed experience"

We have mixed feelings about Whittle-le-Woods CE Primary School. On the one hand, our daughter has enjoyed her time there and the teachers have been supportive. On the other hand, we have found the communication from the school to be a bit patchy at times. We're hoping that things will improve as she moves up through the school.
