"Mixed Feelings About Our Experience"
While we have been pleased with the progress our child has made at Lexden Springs School, we have experienced some issues with communication and consistency. We have had to chase up with staff on several occasions, which has been frustrating at times. However, the staff do seem to care deeply about the children, and we appreciate their efforts to support our child.
