"Mixed Feelings"

While my son enjoys his time at Sheddingdean, I'm not entirely convinced by the school's approach to behavior management. The facilities are great, and the staff are friendly, but I feel like the school could do more to support children with SEN.

We've been at Sheddingdean for 3 years now, and it feels like home. The school's welcoming atmosphere and commitment to e-safety give me peace of mind as a parent. My son loves the new library and the celebrations assemblies.
