"Mixed Experience So Far"

We are still getting to know King Edward VII Academy, having recently transferred our child to the school from a different primary. While we appreciate the school's efforts to provide a supportive environment, we have been slightly disappointed with the inconsistent teaching quality and limited opportunities for extracurricular activities.
