"A Mixed Experience"
While we were generally happy with our experience at Saint Edmund Arrowsmith Catholic Academy, we did have some issues with communication from the school. Our child had some difficulties with certain subjects, but the teachers were willing to work with us to find solutions. Overall, it was a good experience, but not without its challenges.
