## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Home Away From Home: My daughter has been attending Pear Tree School for a few months now, and I have been really impressed by the warmth and care of the staff. The school's emphasis on emotional well-being and the use of therapy to support the children has been a game-changer for my daughter. My only suggestion would be to have more regular updates on my daughter's progress. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Pear Tree School - A Safe Haven: I am so grateful to have found Pear Tree School for my son. The safe and supportive environment has helped him thrive and make progress in his education. I particularly appreciate the emphasis on emotional well-being and the use of therapy to support the children. *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — A School That Truly Cares: My son attended Pear Tree School a few years ago, and I was impressed by the dedication of the staff and the focus on individual needs. I liked the idea of the Personal Holistic Competence assessment system, which I thought was a really innovative approach to helping children. My only criticism is that the school could be more transparent about the progress of their students. *(Sep 2021)*
