"A mixed experience"

We moved our daughter to Armthorpe Academy in Year 8, and while she loved the school's values and atmosphere, we felt that the teaching quality was inconsistent. Some of the subject areas were really strong, but others left a bit to be desired. We appreciated the communication from the school and felt that they were always willing to listen and help. Perhaps a bit more consistency would make all the difference?
