## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A Good Experience: We had a good experience at Saxon Wood School, the staff were friendly and our child received a good education. However, one of the things that let us down was the uniform policy - we felt like it was a bit too restrictive and didn't take into account the individual needs of our child. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Home Away from Home: From the moment we walked in, we felt like part of the Saxon Wood family. The school's values of kindness, respect and empathy really shine through in everything they do. My child loves going to school and is thriving in a place that truly understands their needs. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional Support and Care: I'm so grateful to Saxon Wood School for providing my child with an exceptional education and care. The staff are kind, dedicated and truly go above and beyond to meet the needs of each child. The school's commitment to inclusivity and accessibility is something that really resonated with me. *(Feb 2022)*
