"Mixed Experience"

We're still getting used to the Foxfields approach, but it's been a bit of a rollercoaster ride so far. Some staff members have been wonderful, while others have struggled to connect with our child. The facilities are lovely, but we've had some issues with communication and follow-through on certain promises.

"Fantastic Experience at Foxfields Academy"

We have been part of the Foxfields community for two years now, and I must say, it's been an absolute game-changer for our child. The staff are supportive, understanding, and truly care about each child's well-being. The facilities are excellent, especially the outdoor education area where my child has made many happy memories.

"A School that Truly Cares"

We were at Foxfields for three years, and it was an incredible experience for our child. The school's focus on SEMH needs really resonated with us, and the staff's compassion and dedication were evident in everything they did. We've seen our child grow in confidence and develop valuable life skills during their time there.
