“My daughter has only attended here for a short period of time but in these months, it’s made a lasting impression. The staff have all been very supportive in meeting her needs too. Overall, this has had a positive effect on my daughter’s well-being, and she is now attending school full-time, which is amazing.”

“I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the help with Bella over the last year and half.
I honestly don’t know what I would do without Bella attending this school, it has been a life saver for us as a family, quite literally. As you know she had been to 6 different schools and not coped in any of them at all due to unmet needs.”
