"Mixed Experience"

My child has had a mixed experience at Sunnyside Primary Academy so far. Some of the teachers are fantastic, but others seem a bit disorganized. The school does a great job with the Christmas events and sports days, but I wish they would communicate more with parents about what's going on in the classroom.
