"Mixed feelings about the school"
We've had some issues with the school's communication and organisation, but the teachers have been great with our child. The facilities are nice and the STEM program looks interesting. Still getting used to the school's systems.

"Helpful pastoral care"
We moved our child to Cottingham High a few years ago and were impressed by the pastoral care. They really looked out for our child and helped them settle in. The open days were also really helpful.
