"Mixed experience"

We had a good experience at Outwood Primary Academy Lofthouse Gate, but there were some issues with communication and consistency. The teachers were mostly supportive, but there were a few instances where my child felt frustrated or overwhelmed. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not outstanding.
