"Wonderful School for our Child"

My child has been at The St Christopher School for 2 years now, and we have seen a significant improvement in their confidence and social skills. The staff are very supportive, and the facilities are excellent, especially the indoor swimming pool!

"Some Positives, Some Negatives"

We moved our child to another school, but our experience at The St Christopher School was mixed. The staff were friendly, and the school's facilities were good, but we felt that our child's individual needs were not fully met. Perhaps with more support, our experience would have been better.
