"Mixed Feelings"

We've been impressed with the teachers and the learning environment at Outwood Primary Academy Kirkhamgate. However, we've experienced some issues with communication from the school, and we feel that the school meals could be improved. Overall, we're happy with our child's progress, but we hope to see some changes in the coming months.
