"Mixed feelings about our experience"

We have mixed feelings about our experience at Westcroft School. On the one hand, the staff were always friendly and supportive, and our child made some great friends. On the other hand, we felt that the school could have done more to engage with us as parents and provide more detailed updates on our child's progress.
