"Fantastic school, would highly recommend"

We've been so happy with Crosshill since our son started. The school's values of kindness, respect and inclusivity really shine through in everything they do. The teachers are great and the extra-curricular activities have really helped our child develop new skills.

"Good experience, but some issues"

We had a good experience at Crosshill, but there were some issues with communication between teachers and parents. Our child benefited from the school's focus on personalisation and the 'Inspire pathway' was great for their interests. However, we felt that the school could have done more to support our child's social needs.
