"Mixed Experience"

We've had a mixed experience at Higham Ferrers Junior School so far. My child is in Year 3 and is enjoying the school, but we've had some issues with communication from the teachers and the school's uniform policy is quite strict. Despite this, the school is working hard to address our concerns and we're hoping things will improve.
