"Mixed Feelings"

We were impressed by the school's focus on outdoor learning and the support provided for our child's mental health. However, we've experienced some communication issues with the teaching staff, which has made it difficult to stay on top of our child's progress. Overall, it's been a bit of a mixed bag.

My child was struggling in mainstream school and Springwell Harrogate has been a lifesaver. The nurturing environment, the focus on outdoor learning, and the therapeutic support have all made a huge difference. We're so grateful for the team's hard work and dedication to helping our child succeed.
