"My child has settled in really well and he has been getting extra support to help him with speaking, listening, reading and writing. The teachers are fab and the head master is lovely. There is a lovely atmosphere at the school and always something going on."

"I had such a lovely and positive experience! The staff members were very friendly and helpful, they gave up a lot of their time to speak with me and gave me lots of useful information. This was really appreciated and meant we could speak to ensure that we have a good action plan in place."
