"Amazed by the transformation"

I'm so grateful to have sent my child to Lakeside School. The staff have been amazing, supporting him through the challenges he has faced. The therapy programs have really helped him to overcome his anxiety and he's now a confident, happy child.

"A true haven for children with special needs"

Lakeside School has been a game-changer for my child. The staff are passionate, caring and dedicated to providing the best education and support possible. My child loves the off-site excursions and the sense of community is wonderful.

"Mixed feelings about the school"

I have mixed feelings about Lakeside School. My child had a great experience with some of the staff, but the communication between the school and us as parents was sometimes lacking. The facilities are great, but I feel that they could have done more to support us during the transition period.
