"Some areas for improvement"

While we're generally happy with the school, we've experienced some issues with communication and organisation. The school's emphasis on character development and inclusion is great, but we've found that the academic expectations can sometimes be inconsistent. We're hoping that the school will address these issues and continue to improve.
