"Mixed Experience at St Ann's"

We had a mixed experience at St Ann's. Our child enjoyed the after-school clubs and the school meals were always a highlight. However, we found the communication with teachers to be inconsistent at times. Overall, it was a decent school, but not exceptional in our opinion.
