"Good school but some issues with communication"

We were at Ridgeway Farm for 5 years and had a generally positive experience. The teachers were great with our child and the curriculum was engaging. However, we sometimes struggled with communication from the school and felt a bit left out of important decisions. Overall, it's a good school but could be improved with better communication.
