Our child has thrived in the Sleepover Club, and we love the emphasis on creating leaders in learning and life. Highly recommend! *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about the residential program: While Saxon Hill Academy has been a good experience for our child, we've had some mixed feelings about the residential program. The Sleepover Club is fantastic, but we've had some concerns about the consistency of care during the week. That being said, the staff are generally very caring and dedicated, and we appreciate the emphasis on independence and wellbeing. *(May 2022)*
- **5/5** — Supportive and inclusive: We were initially hesitant about sending our child to a special school, but Saxon Hill Academy exceeded our expectations. The team's commitment to inclusion and the pupil-led approach really resonated with us. Our child made excellent progress during their time there, and we're grateful for the support we received. *(Feb 2021)*
