"Mixed emotions"

I have mixed feelings about Paddington Academy. My child joined the school in Year 7 and made some wonderful friends, but I felt the school could be more supportive in terms of pastoral care. The teaching was generally good, but I did feel that some teachers were more enthusiastic than others. Overall, I would say it was an average experience.
