"Mixed Feelings about the School"

We moved to Northallerton recently, and my daughter started at Northallerton School & Sixth Form College. While she enjoys the school and the friends she has made, we have had some concerns about the communication from the school. We have also been disappointed with the availability of some extracurricular activities. However, the school's values and commitment to excellence are genuine, and we are hopeful that the issues we have encountered will be addressed.
