"Some strengths, but inconsistent teaching quality"

We moved our child to St Barnabas a year ago, and while we've seen some improvements in the teaching quality, we still feel that it can be inconsistent. The school's Christian values are a real strength, but we've experienced some issues with communication from the school office. Overall, it's been a mixed experience.
