"Some Hiccups but Mostly Positive"

We've had a mixed experience at Knowle DGE Academy. On the plus side, the staff are friendly and the facilities are great. However, we've noticed some inconsistencies in communication and occasional difficulties with managing our child's behavior. Overall, we're hopeful that things will improve and we'll continue to see our child thrive.

"Transformed Our Child's Education"

Our child struggled in mainstream schools but absolutely flourished at Knowle DGE Academy. The values of respect, responsibility, and individuality really resonated with us as a family, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our child received the support they needed. We can't thank them enough for transforming our child's education.
