"Best school ever!"
My son is in 2CW and he loves going to school every day. The teachers are so supportive and the facilities are amazing! They really make an effort to teach the children about kindness and respect, it's lovely to see. I've never seen a school that celebrates neurodiversity like The Arches does, it's really refreshing.

"Great school, some issues with communication"
My daughter is in 5W and overall she's had a great experience at The Arches. The teachers are wonderful and the school values really shine through. However, sometimes it's difficult to get in touch with the right person and I've had to chase up a few things. Also, I wish they would send out more regular updates on what's happening in the class.
