"A Great School with Room for Improvement"

We are generally very happy with Donnington Wood School. The teachers are friendly and attentive, and the facilities are clean and well-maintained. However, we have noticed that communication with parents could be better, and sometimes the school seems disorganized. We will continue to support the school and hope to see improvements in these areas.
