"Hawthorns School - A Second Home for Our Child"

We've been blown away by the dedication and care shown by the Hawthorns team. From the moment our child started, they've felt supported and encouraged to reach their full potential. The school's focus on individualised resources and strategies has been a game-changer for our child's education. We're so grateful to have found a school that truly understands our child's needs.

"A School That Truly Cares"

We had the pleasure of being part of the Hawthorns community for three years, and it was an absolute privilege. The school's commitment to creating meaningful futures is genuine, and it shows in every aspect of their work. From the facilities to the values, everything feels designed to support the unique needs of each child. If you're looking for a school that will be a true partner in your child's journey, look no further.

"A School That Understands Our Child"

As a parent of a child with SEND, it's been amazing to see how Hawthorns has tailored their approach to meet our child's needs. The school's focus on individualised resources and strategies has made a huge difference, and we've seen our child grow in confidence and ability. While there have been some teething issues, we're confident that the school is committed to continuous improvement.

"Some Great Aspects, But Room for Improvement"

We've been impressed by some of the initiatives at Hawthorns, such as the satellite provisions and the focus on co-production. However, we've experienced some disjointed communication and inconsistent support in certain areas. While we appreciate the school's efforts, we feel that there's still work to be done to ensure a seamless experience for all families.
