"Mixed Feelings about Drumbeat"

Overall, I have mixed feelings about Drumbeat School. The staff are friendly and the facilities are good, but I feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about our child's progress. My child has struggled with the transition to secondary school and I feel that the school could have been more supportive in this process.

"Excellent Support for Children with Autism"

I was blown away by the level of support and care my child received during their time at Drumbeat. The occupational therapy and speech and language therapy programs were invaluable in helping my child overcome their challenges. I highly recommend Drumbeat to any parent looking for a school that truly understands and supports children with autism.
