"Mixed Experience"

While my son has made some progress at The Unicorn School, I still have some concerns about the availability of certain resources and facilities. The staff are generally supportive, but communication with parents could be improved. It's been a bit of a mixed experience, but we're hoping for a better outcome in the long run.

"Small but Mighty"

As a parent of two children who graduated from The Unicorn School, I can attest to the exceptional education they received. The school's small class sizes and individualized approach allowed them to flourish and develop at their own pace. Although it's not the biggest school, its unique approach and dedication to supporting children with dyslexia make it truly special.
