"Mixed experience - some great aspects, some room for improvement"

We've had a mixed experience with Pound Hill Infant Academy. On the one hand, our child loves their teacher and the facilities are modern and well-maintained. However, we've experienced some communication issues with the school and feel that some parents are not as involved as they could be.
