"Mixed Experience"

We've had a mixed experience with Bure Park so far. Our son has struggled with some of the more intense programs, but the staff have been supportive and trying to help him. The residential program has been a highlight, but we're still unsure if it's the right fit for him. David R, Parent of Year 7 child, 2023-01-25
