## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — bad school: shit school tells you 1 percent of what if something happened making your child out to be the bad guy tries to make them mad to get a conflict *(Mar 2025)*
- **1/5** — Not what it seems: As a teacher I have witnessed staff being bullied and threatened by the SLT. A complete toxic working environment that focuses more on making profits than helping kids. I would give this place a wide birth if I was a parent thinking of sending my child here. *(Oct 2024)*
- **1/5** — Disgusting: As member of staff what I experienced was a complete toxic environment. Bullying and intimidation at its worst I have worked in a school so unprofessional. Pupils get a really bad deal and their needs are not met. No money is spent on the kids and they have little to no resources. *(Jul 2024)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional Support and Care for our Child: We have been truly blown away by the exceptional support and care provided by the Millcourt team. Their commitment to creating a nurturing environment where our child feels valued and understood has been invaluable. We can't thank them enough! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Excellent Support for Pupils with SEN: We were a bit nervous about choosing a SEN school for our child, but Millcourt has been a game-changer. The staff are so knowledgeable and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. We can't thank them enough for all their help *(Mar 2022)*
- **3/5** — A Good School, but Room for Improvement: We have been generally happy with Millcourt, but we did struggle with communication initially. The staff are lovely and the facilities are great, but we feel they could do more to engage parents in the child's education. Still, we're glad we made the decision to send our child there *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — A School that Truly Understands and Cares for its Pupils: As a former parent, we can confidently say that Millcourt School is a truly special place. The staff are passionate, dedicated and go above and beyond to ensure every child reaches their full potential. We have no hesitation in recommending them *(Jun 2021)*
