"Mixed Experience"

We've had a mixed experience at Madeley High School so far. The school's values and ethos are great and the staff are generally friendly and approachable. However, there have been some issues with the school's communication and organisation which have caused some frustration.

"Great Experience, Could Be Improved"

I have two children who attended Madeley High School and we had a generally great experience. The school's values and ethos really shone through in the way the teachers interacted with the students. However, there were some issues with communication between parents and teachers which could be improved.
