"Pakefield High: A Great Start"

My child is in their second year at Pakefield High and we're really pleased with their progress. The school's curriculum is engaging and challenging, and the teachers are always available to offer support. We do feel that the school could do more to engage parents in school life, but overall we're happy with our decision to send our child here.
