"Some Mixed Feelings About the School"

I've had some mixed feelings about Westcliff High School for Boys, as my son has struggled with some aspects of the curriculum. However, the school has also provided some excellent opportunities for him, such as the Giles Wilson Moot and the GCHQ challenge. I feel that the school could do more to support students with special needs.
