"Mixed feelings about our time at Bacon's"

We had a mixed experience at Bacon's College. Our child did well academically, but we sometimes felt that the school prioritised exams over well-being. The facilities are great, but we found the uniform policy to be somewhat outdated and restrictive. Overall, we're grateful for the education our child received, but we have some reservations about the school's approach.
