"Some areas for improvement but overall positive experience"

We have been pleased with the progress our child has made at The Lady Byron School. However, we have experienced some communication breakdowns between staff and parents. With a bit more attention to detail, we believe the school could excel in providing an outstanding education for children with autism.

"Excellent transition for our child"

We were initially sceptical about transitioning our child to a specialist school but The Lady Byron School exceeded our expectations. Their bespoke curriculum and small group sizes allowed our child to flourish. We are grateful for their support and guidance during this challenging time.
