"Some great aspects, but room for improvement"

We've had a mixed experience with Didsbury High School so far. On the one hand, the school's facilities are excellent and the teachers are generally supportive. However, we've found the communication from the school to be a bit patchy at times, and some of the policies can be a bit confusing.
