"Room for Improvement"

My child attended Shoreditch Park from Year 7 to Year 9. While we had a positive experience, we felt that the school could do more to support students with SEN needs. The curriculum was also a bit narrow, with not enough emphasis on the arts. However, the staff were generally supportive and the facilities were good.
