"Mixed Feelings"

I'm a bit torn about Huxlow Academy. On the one hand, I love the school's commitment to character development and the excellent facilities. On the other hand, I feel that the school could do more to support children with special needs. My child has had some difficulties in class, and I've had to navigate the system to get the help they need. Overall, it's been a bit of a mixed experience for us.
