"Mixed Feelings about Thorpe St Andrew School"

We're a bit torn about our experience at Thorpe St Andrew School and Sixth Form. Our son has enjoyed some of his subjects and the facilities are great, but we feel that the school could do more to support children with special needs. Overall, we're pleased with the education he's receiving, but we're not entirely satisfied with the lack of flexibility in the curriculum.
