"Some ups and downs, but overall a good experience"

My child has been at Kirton Academy for a year now, and it's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Some of the teachers are fantastic, but others could be more engaging. The pastoral support has been good, but I think the school could do more to help with bullying.
