"A Good School with Some Room for Improvement"

My child is still new to Richard Hale School, but I've noticed some positive changes since they joined. The school's commitment to respect, ambition, and commitment is genuinely evident, and the staff are trying hard to ensure every child feels welcome. However, I do feel that the communication from the school could be better, and I've experienced a few minor issues with the SIMS Parent app.
