"Good Experience but Some Room for Improvement"

We have mixed feelings about our experience at the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School. Our child has generally enjoyed their time at the school, but we feel that some of the teachers could be more supportive. The school's facilities are good, but we feel that there is some room for improvement in terms of resources and extracurricular activities.
