People used to tell me to look at which young offender's institution my child was going to. Now I'm looking at which university they will go to.  - Year 13 parent

Excellent provision of adapted curriculum to meet the children's individual needs. Everything fun & enjoyable

Where do I start?! I am so pleased and grateful for the excellent provision, quality teaching and care that my child has access to in school.

Fantastic school I personally couldn't have hoped for a better school safe and nurturing environment she always comes home with a smile.

I think the school overall is great and my son has come on leaps and bounds since being there, he always enjoys school and is always smiling.

The Trust Olympics 2023 were perfect, awesome and fantastic.

Brilliant clubs & brilliant staff also.

My children really enjoy the school clubs both after school and holiday clubs, the staff are amazing.

We really love the school holiday club and so do the boys.

I would like to send a message of thanks to everyone who works the clubs and those for organise them too. They are an important resource to our whole family, so thank you.
