"A Mixed Experience"

We had a mixed experience with The Hawthorns School. On the one hand, the staff were always available to answer our questions and provide support. However, we felt that the school could have been more proactive in communicating with us about our daughter's progress. Overall, it was a good experience, but we had hoped for more.
