Change of Flying School?

I am a few hours (9) into my PPL and after speaking to a few friends with PPL's I am wondering if I am getting full value for money at my current school.
Although I get on great with my FI, I am a little concerned with the structure of my training:
1.I get no real preflight briefing-just a brief look at what the wind is doing and then out to the the a/c and off we go
2.A short flight to another airfield with a T&G and maybe a full landing.
3.A return flight to the home airfield for tea and biscuits
4.No debrief or report of my performance
5.I arrange my next lesson but there is no talk of the the exercises that may be planned for that flight.
6.Almost no use of the r/t

Am I expecting too much at this stage?Can I transfer the exam passes that I already have if I join another school.( I have no documentation in my possession showing my passes).If I join another school that has a more regimented approach to the syllabus will they ignore what I have done to date?
I could really use some advice as like a lot of people,I am an ordinary guy who has saved hard to realise a life's ambition.
