"Mixed experience"

We've had a mixed experience at Churchill School. Our child has thrived in their core subjects, but has struggled in certain areas where they require extra support. The staff are generally caring and supportive, but we feel that there could be more consistency in their approach to supporting children with SEND.

We were blown away by the level of support our child received at Churchill School. The staff went above and beyond to tailor their learning to their needs, and we saw significant progress in their speech and language skills. We would highly recommend Churchill School to any family considering a special school.
