"A Supportive and Nurturing Environment."

I've been really impressed with the support my son has received at Sunnydown. The teachers are caring and attentive, and the school's focus on emotional well-being is fantastic. The facilities are also great, especially the extended dining hall. I feel confident that my son is in a positive environment where he can thrive.

"A School That Truly Understands Its Pupils."

My son has been at Sunnydown for 2 years now and I couldn't be happier. The facilities are excellent, especially the new teaching block with state-of-the-art technology. The staff are incredibly supportive and dedicated to helping the children achieve their full potential. I love how the school promotes RICE3 values and how it empowers the students to take ownership of their learning.

"My amazing experience at Sunnydown"

My experience of sunny down has been amazing! As I came from a mainstream school, I really noticed the extra support sunnydown provided.

My favourite part of sunny down was the residential (which is now closed). The food is the only part of sunnydown that makes it not as good as it could be.

I would recommend this school 5/5!!!

"A Great Experience, But Room for Improvement."

My son attended Sunnydown from Year 7 to Year 9 and had a mostly wonderful experience. The school's commitment to British values and promoting respect and tolerance was impressive. However, I sometimes felt that the school could do more to engage with parents, and communication could be better. Overall, though, it's a great school that I would recommend to others.
