"Concerned"

I have seen other students self harming and laughing and showing off about it and threatening to do it again if you dont do what they want. And the teachers see it and dont do anything about it.

"A Prison Sentence Would Have Been Better"

My 5 years there was worse than a prison sentence! I hated every second of every day that I was there and I blame my primary school’s SENCO for forcing me there.

"Room for Improvement in Communication"

While our child has enjoyed their experience at Philip Southcote, we have found the communication between parents and teachers to be inconsistent at times. However, the school's facilities and programs, such as the ELSA and Lego Therapy, have been very beneficial for our child's development.

"Excellent Support Systems"

As a former parent, I can confidently say that Philip Southcote provided our child with an excellent education and an incredible amount of support. The school's commitment to providing a sensory room and speech therapy was instrumental in helping our child thrive.
