"A Great Start to School"

My child has settled in really well at Hitherfield, and we've been impressed with the school's support for children with special needs. The staff are always available to talk and offer advice, and the nursery parents' evening was really helpful.

"Mixed Feelings About Hitherfield"

While my child has enjoyed some aspects of school life, such as the music program, we've experienced some communication issues with the teachers. Overall, I think the school has potential, but it could benefit from more parental involvement and clearer expectations.
