"Fantastic Experience"

My daughter attended Fountain Head House School for a few years and we were thoroughly impressed with the school's approach to teaching and care. The open and welcoming environment helped her to feel confident and supported. We would highly recommend it to anyone considering a school for a child with SEND.

"Some Positives, but Room for Improvement"

We've had a mixed experience at Fountain Head House School. Our child has certainly benefited from the sensory experiences and life skills taught, but we feel that the communication between staff and parents could be better. The school's emphasis on individualised learning is great, but we've sometimes found it hard to get updates on our child's progress.
