"Wonderful School for Our Son"

As a parent of a child with autism, we were a bit apprehensive about moving to Castle EAST School. However, from the moment our son started, we've seen a huge improvement in his confidence and social skills. The staff are incredibly supportive and the facilities are great. They've also done a fantastic job of helping our son develop his independent living skills, which has given us peace of mind for the future.

"Outstanding School and Support"

We had the pleasure of having our child attend Castle EAST School for a year before moving out of the area. The school's focus on communication and interaction skills resonated with us, and we saw a significant improvement in our child's ability to express themselves. The staff were warm, welcoming, and dedicated to helping our child thrive. We're so grateful for the time our child spent there and would highly recommend it to anyone who needs a supportive and specialist environment.

"Mixed Experience"

We've had a mixed experience at Castle EAST School. On the one hand, our child has made some good friends and the staff are generally supportive. However, we've found the school's approach to communication and interaction skills to be a bit hit and miss. Sometimes our child's needs are met, but other times we feel like they're not getting the right support. We're still giving it a chance, but we're a bit disappointed with the inconsistent experience so far.
