“I would recommend Orchard in a heartbeat. In the last year since our son has been attending Orchard there has been an incredible improvement in his confidence and learning. He is so happy to attend every day, the staff have shown limitless patience and positivity, spending time to really get to know his personality and needs, making him feel that he really can achieve each next level with no stress or pressure, just positive encouragement. Also, by way of outings into the community, he is learning to budget, shop, communicate effectively and generally cope with the world at large. Fridays are very popular too! We cannot stress enough how grateful we are to all staff throughout the school because if he had gone to a mainstream school he would have got lost in the system and his future would not have been so bright.”
