"Good school, room for improvement"

My son attends the Shakespeare Campus, and while he has had a generally positive experience, I have noticed some inconsistencies in the teaching quality and resources available. The school's commitment to inclusivity and support for students with special needs is commendable, but there are still some areas where it could improve.
