"Mixed Feelings About Our Experience"

We had a bit of a mixed experience with Dixons Brooklands Academy. On the one hand, our child loved their time at the school and benefited greatly from the programs and resources available. On the other hand, we sometimes felt that the communication with teachers and the school administration could be improved. Overall, I'd say it was a good but not exceptional experience.
