"Some inconsistencies in quality"

We had a mixed experience at Kirkby High School. While the staff were generally supportive and the school provided some excellent opportunities for our child, there were some inconsistencies in the quality of teaching and resources. Overall, we're grateful for the experience but feel it could be improved.
