"West Heath School exceeds expectations"

I was nervous about sending my child to West Heath School, but the facilities, staff and values have all exceeded my expectations. The therapy programs have been especially beneficial for my child's anxiety, and the relationships with the teachers have been truly supportive. Highly recommend!

"Mixed feelings about our experience"

We have mixed feelings about our experience at West Heath School. The staff are generally very supportive, but there have been some issues with consistency and communication at times. We appreciate the efforts made to cater for our child's needs, but feel that some more could be done to engage with parents on a regular basis.

"An incredible education and experience"

My child attended West Heath School for a few years and we were thoroughly impressed with the education, facilities and care provided. The emphasis on respect, responsibility and relationships really helped my child develop into a confident young person. We have no hesitation in recommending this school.
