"Room for Improvement"

While my child has been happy at Carlton Digby School, I've noticed that some of the facilities could be better maintained. The school's emphasis on inclusivity and community involvement is commendable, but I wish they would involve parents more in the decision-making process.

"Excellent Communication"

The staff at Carlton Digby School keep me informed about my child's progress through regular updates on Class Dojo. I've also appreciated the opportunity to attend parent-teacher meetings and discuss my child's individual education plan. The school's commitment to open communication is a testament to their dedication to their students.
