"A great school with some minor issues"

We have been very happy with Connaught School for Girls so far, but there have been a few issues with communication and consistency. My daughter enjoys the school and the staff seem knowledgeable and supportive. I would recommend the school to others, but I do think they need to work on their communication skills. 2023-01-20
