"Room for Improvement"

We've had a mixed experience at Our Place School. The staff are generally friendly and helpful, but we've struggled with consistency and communication at times. The school's facilities are lovely, but we feel that some of the values and programs could be better implemented to really support our child's needs.

"Life-Changing Experience for Our Son"

We cannot speak highly enough of Our Place School. The staff are kind, understanding, and dedicated to helping our son reach his full potential. The forest school and outdoor activities have been a game-changer for him, and we've seen a huge increase in his confidence and independence.

"A Positive Experience"

We had a positive experience at Our Place School, which was a huge relief after our child struggled at their previous school. The staff were helpful and supportive, and the school's focus on outdoor learning was a great benefit. However, we did feel that communication could be improved at times.
