"Mixed Feelings About How Wood"

We had a mixed experience at How Wood Primary School. The staff were friendly and the facilities were good, but we felt that the school could do more to support children with special educational needs. Our child had a few difficulties during their time at the school, but ultimately we were happy with their progress. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not outstanding.
