"Some Good, Some Room for Improvement"

We've been generally happy with Birchills Church of England Community Academy, but there are a few areas where we'd like to see improvement. The dedicated learning areas are great, but sometimes we feel that our child's needs aren't being fully met. Hopefully, they'll address these concerns soon.
