"Some great initiatives, but room for improvement"

I've been pleased with my daughter's progress at Bolder Academy and appreciate the emphasis on mental health and wellbeing. However, I do think that the school could improve its communication with parents - it's sometimes difficult to get information about upcoming events and deadlines. Overall, I'm happy with our choice of school.
