"Some positives, but areas for improvement"

We have mixed feelings about our time at Arthur Mellows Village College. On the one hand, our child benefited from the excellent pastoral care and supportive teachers. However, we felt that the communication between parents and teachers could be improved, and there were sometimes issues with organisation and timing. Overall, we are grateful for the experience, but feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and improve the overall experience.
