- **4/5** — Room for improvement in communication.: We have been generally pleased with our daughter's experience at The Oratory, but we've had some issues with communication between the school and parents. The facilities are excellent, and we appreciate the school's emphasis on character development and pastoral care. However, we feel that the school could do more to keep us informed about our daughter's progress and well-being. *(Mar 2022)*
