"Mixed Experience"

We have mixed feelings about King's College Taunton. On the one hand, our child loves the school and has made some wonderful friends. However, we have experienced some communication issues with the teachers, and the school's emphasis on academic achievement can be a bit stressful at times. We hope that the school will address these concerns and continue to improve.
