## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Exceptional Support and Care: I've been blown away by the level of support and care that the Duke of Lancaster team has provided for my child. The sensory rooms are fantastic and have really helped with their anxiety. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be part of this community. *(May 2022)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic School, Fabulous Staff: Duke of Lancaster has exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff are kind, patient, and dedicated to each child's individual needs. The school's focus on Interaction skills, Social skills, Emotional regulation skills, Academic skills, and preparing them for adulthood is exactly what we were looking for. *(Oct 2021)*
- **4/5** — A Good School, but Room for Improvement: We had a positive experience at Duke of Lancaster, but I wish they had more activities and outings for the children. The staff were lovely, but sometimes it felt a bit too structured. I'm grateful for the foundation they gave my child, but I think there's room for more creativity and flexibility. *(Feb 2020)*
