"Good Experience, Room for Improvement"

While my child had a generally positive experience at Leeds City Academy, I felt that the communication between teachers and parents could be better. The facilities were excellent, and the teachers were knowledgeable. I'm not sure if this is still an issue, but I'd like to see more regular updates.
