## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Home away from Home: Holly Grove has been an absolute game-changer for my child. The staff are caring, kind and dedicated to providing the best possible education for children with special needs. My child has thrived in their specialist learning environment and the facilities are top-notch, especially the hydrotherapy pool! *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A school that truly cares: I've never seen my child so happy and engaged at a school before. The values of Holly Grove, such as 'Together we Learn, Together we Achieve', really shine through in everything they do. The staff are passionate about their work and it shows in the progress my child has made. *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some good, some room for improvement: My child attended Holly Grove a few years ago and while the staff were always friendly and attentive, I felt that the communication could be better. The facilities are great, especially the sensory studio, but I sometimes felt that my child's needs weren't being fully met. Still, overall, a good experience. *(Mar 2022)*
- **3/5** — It’s alright: As a former student, I believe the teachers made a opinion on the whole of my year based on a few students. Four students ended up in A & E when we were on our residential trip, this may be down to the fact that nobody was watching us. However, the school has a friendly environment and the teachers were supportive. They did provide us with a lot of clubs and activities to do as well. Overall I would recommend this school if your child is not accident prone. *(Sep 2021)*
