"Mixed Experience So Far"

My child has only just started at Shaftesbury High School, so I'm still getting a feel for the place. The facilities are great, but I've found the communication from the school to be a bit hit and miss. The teachers seem knowledgeable, but I'm not sure about the programmes they offer yet.
