"Wonderful Support System"

We've been so impressed with the support system at Side by Side. Our child has grown so much since starting, and the staff are always willing to listen and adapt to their needs. The facilities are amazing, especially the after-school club which gives our child the opportunity to interact with peers outside of classes.

"Variety of Programs"

We've been happy with the variety of programs offered at Side by Side, particularly the workability and life skills classes. However, at times we've felt that communication with teachers could be improved. Our child has made progress, but we're not entirely convinced that the school's values of bright future and equal opportunity are fully implemented.

"Life-Changing Experience"

We were blown away by the level of care and support our child received at Side by Side. The school's commitment to equal opportunities and dedicated support was evident from the start, and our child thrived under their care. The ASDAN accreditation programme was particularly impressive, and we're grateful for the skills they developed.
