"Some improvements needed, but generally a positive experience"

My child has had a mixed experience at Mill Green School. The specialist support has been excellent, but we've encountered some issues with communication and consistency. The facilities are great, and the staff are generally responsive, but there's room for improvement in certain areas. We're hopeful that the school will continue to grow and develop.
