"Mixed Experience"

Our experience at Howden Junior School has been a mixed one. On the one hand, the staff are generally friendly and supportive, and our child has enjoyed the extracurricular activities. On the other hand, we've sometimes found it difficult to get information and feedback from the school, and we've had some issues with communication with the teacher. Overall, we're glad we chose the school, but we hope they'll work on improving their communication.
