"Mixed Feelings About Our Experience"
We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Shatterlocks so far. On the one hand, our child has settled in well and the staff are lovely. However, we feel that the communication from the school could be better - we've had a few issues with getting information about our child's progress. Still, we're optimistic and hope things will improve.
