We have a split house hold therefore my son never had homework or at least i thought the staff screamed at me and accused me of not caring about my son. She never told me...until we had a meeting 7weeks later

The staff are worse than the kids!
They have a click and once they tink your kid needs an extra push they treat them like they are low lifes. My kids go here and i hate it
