"Some Concerns About Attendance"

While we have been happy with the education at Handsworth Grange, we do have some concerns about the attendance policies. I understand the importance of attending school regularly, but I feel that the school could do more to support children who are struggling with attendance issues. We are hoping to see some improvements in this area.

"Excellent Preparation for Life"

I have to say that my child was really well-prepared for life after leaving Handsworth Grange. The school's focus on personal development and understanding of society and the wider world really made a difference. My child's literacy and numeracy skills are excellent, and they are now in a great position to pursue their dreams.
