## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A supportive and inclusive school community: We've been at The Ridge for a few years now and can honestly say it's been a fantastic experience for our child. The values of respect, inclusion, drive, growth, and empowerment are genuinely lived and breathed by the staff and students, creating a warm and welcoming environment. We've been impressed by the school's commitment to SEND support and the way they involve parents in every step of the process. Highly recommend! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A good school with some great initiatives: We're generally happy with The Ridge, but we've had some mixed experiences with the teaching. On the positive side, the school's commitment to diversity and inclusion is really admirable, and the RE program is excellent. However, we've found the communication with teachers to be a bit patchy at times. Overall, it's a good school, but we'd like to see some improvements in a few areas. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — A special school that truly cares: We moved out of the area last year, but we're still in touch with many of the lovely families we met at The Ridge. The school was a game-changer for our child, who thrived in the supportive and inclusive environment. The staff are dedicated, passionate, and genuinely care about each student's well-being. We can't speak highly enough of the school and the impact it had on our family. *(Jun 2021)*
