"Good Experience, Room for Improvement"

We've had a generally positive experience with The Academy at Shotton Hall. My son is thriving in his subjects, particularly maths and science, and he loves the sports facilities. However, we've encountered some issues with communication from the school and I think they could do more to involve parents in school life.
