## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Safe and Supportive Environment: I'm so grateful to have found Sunrise Academy for my daughter. The staff are kind and caring, and the school's focus on SEMH needs has been a game-changer for her. The sensory room is a great resource for calming and regulating, and the teachers are always willing to adapt their approach to meet her needs. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some Good, Some Not So Good: We've had a mixed experience at Sunrise Academy. The staff are generally friendly and supportive, but the curriculum could be more engaging for our child. The sensory room has been a great resource for him, though, and the school's focus on SEMH needs has been helpful. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Positive Experience: My son attended Sunrise Academy for a year, and I was pleasantly surprised by the sense of community and support. The teachers were patient and understanding, and the school's values of teamwork and mutual respect were evident in everything they did. *(Jun 2021)*
