"Varied Experience but Overall Positive"

Our experience at Holbrook School for Autism was mixed, to be honest. The staff were generally supportive, but the communication could be better. The facilities are great, and our son loved the forest school site. We would have liked to see more consistency in the teaching and more opportunities for our child to engage with the local community.
