## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Fantastic Support and Care for Our Son: Our son attended Torfield for several years and we couldn't be happier with the support and care he received. The staff are all so dedicated and passionate about their work, and the school's values of respect, empathy and inclusion really shine through in everything they do. We're so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of the Torfield community. *(Nov 2023)*
- **5/5** — A Wonderful Experience for Our Daughter: We've been so impressed with the support and care that the staff at Torfield have shown our daughter. The facilities are also excellent, she loves the sensory garden and the swimming pool. The values of the school are really important to us, particularly the emphasis on independence and inclusion. We feel so grateful to have found a school that shares our values and is helping our daughter to thrive. *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — A Great School with a Warm and Welcoming Atmosphere: We've been really impressed with the school's commitment to inclusion and diversity, and our daughter loves the activities and outings that she's been on. The staff are all so friendly and approachable, and we feel really welcome at the school. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars is that sometimes the communication could be better. *(Jul 2023)*
- **4/5** — Good Experience but Room for Improvement: We've had a good experience at Torfield, but there have been a few issues with communication and organisation. The staff are all very caring and supportive, and our son has really benefited from the school's programmes and activities. We just feel that the school could do more to involve parents in decision-making and to keep us updated on what's going on. *(May 2023)*
