School Experience
The reviewers share their contrasting experiences at St. Joe's school. On the one hand, Positive Memories of the school are fondly recalled by Rachel Prempeh, who attended the school a couple of years ago. She praises the Amazing Teachers who made a significant impact on her learning experience. The school's warm and welcoming atmosphere is also highlighted, with Rachel still visiting the school and receiving a warm reception.
Discriminatory Practices
On the other hand, Discrimination Allegations are leveled against the school by Lucy Leary, who shares a disturbing incident from 2014. According to Lucy, the school refused to admit a child with a disability, with the head teacher suggesting that the child would be better suited to a special needs school without even assessing the child's abilities. This incident is particularly concerning given the school's faith-based background.
