- **4/5** — A Mixed Experience: We had a good experience at Brinkley Grove when our son attended, but there were some aspects that didn't quite work for us. The school's curriculum was engaging, and the staff were generally supportive, but we found the communication between teachers and parents to be a bit patchy at times. Overall, it was a decent school, but not without its flaws. *(Jun 2020)*
