"Some Mixed Feelings"

My child is in Year 11 and while they're generally happy with their education, I've had some concerns about the workload and exam pressures. The school's values and community feel are great, but I'm not sure the Sixth Form is as strong as it could be.

"Horrible"

The teaching is good but some of the teachers need to learn how to respect students and not abuse their power
