- **4/5** — Some Positives, Some Negatives: Our experience at De Varens has been mixed. On the one hand, the school has been excellent at supporting my child's individual needs and the focus on practical skills has been a great benefit. On the other hand, the communication with parents has sometimes been poor and it feels like the school could do more to engage with the wider community. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Positive Experience: Our experience at De Varens has been overwhelmingly positive. The school's focus on practical skills and work experience has been a great benefit to my child, and the staff are always available to offer support and guidance. The only area for improvement would be in the communication with parents - sometimes it feels like we're not always in the loop. *(Jun 2022)*
