"Good School but Room for Improvement"

My child has been at Harris Lowe Academy Willesden for a few years now and while they have had some great experiences, there are a few areas that need improvement. The school's facilities are excellent, especially the music department, but the communication with parents could be better and some teachers seem to have high expectations but not always provide enough support.
