## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — TRANSPHOBIC: EXTREMELY TRANSPHOBIC *(Nov 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for Improvement, But Overall a Good Experience: I've been impressed by the way Newfield School tailors its curriculum to each child's needs, but I do feel that communication with parents could be better. The staff are wonderful and the facilities are great, but sometimes it feels like we're getting mixed messages. That being said, my child is thriving and we're grateful for the opportunities Newfield has provided. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — A School That Truly Cares: I've been blown away by the dedication and commitment of the staff at Newfield School. The facilities are excellent and the way they cater to each child's individual needs is truly impressive. They've already made a huge difference to my child's life in just a few short months. We feel so lucky to be a part of the Newfield family! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Special Place for Our Son: My husband and I were initially hesitant about sending our son to a specialist school, but after visiting Newfield, we knew we'd found the right place. The staff are passionate, the facilities are excellent, and the values they instil in the children are exactly what we wanted for our son. We're so grateful for the time he spent at Newfield and the skills he developed. *(Mar 2021)*
