"Good school with some minor areas for improvement"

I've been generally pleased with my child's experience at Dame Tipping. However, I've noticed that the school could benefit from some additional resources and facilities to support children with special educational needs. That being said, the staff are dedicated and the school's values are genuinely inspiring.
