"A game-changer for our 10-year-old!"

We moved to Littlehampton and were desperate to find a school that could support our son's SEMH needs. Cornfield School has been a lifesaver! The staff is caring, understanding, and the facilities are excellent. We've seen a huge improvement in his confidence and behavior. We can't thank them enough!

"A supportive environment for our son"

We were skeptical at first, but the support and care at Cornfield School have been outstanding. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure our son feels safe and supported. The Life Skills program has been particularly helpful in teaching him essential life skills. We're grateful for their expertise and dedication!

"A mixed experience"

We moved our son to Cornfield School a few years ago, but we had to take him out due to some issues with his EHCP. While we appreciated the staff's efforts, we felt that the school couldn't meet his complex needs. The facilities were great, though, and we appreciated the focus on life skills and emotional regulation. Maybe they've improved since we left?
