- **4/5** — Excellent facilities: We were blown away by the facilities at Arts Education. The converted church building is so peaceful and welcoming, it's perfect for our child's needs. The staff are also very approachable and always willing to listen to our concerns. *(Oct 2022)*
- **5/5** — Life changing school!: Arts Education has been a game changer for our child. The staff are so caring and understanding, they've really helped our child to grow in confidence. The creative approach to learning is amazing, our child loves the 'Discovery Days' program. We can't thank them enough! *(Jun 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some good, some bad: We've had a mixed experience with Arts Education. The staff are very caring and our child has made some great friends, but the curriculum can be a bit hit and miss at times. We're not sure if it's the right fit for our child's needs, but we're giving it another year to see if things improve. *(Aug 2021)*
- **5/5** — Supportive environment: When our child first started at Arts Education, they were struggling to cope with bullying at their previous school. The staff at Arts were so understanding and supportive, they worked closely with us to develop a personalized learning plan. Our child is now thriving and we're so grateful for the safe and inclusive environment they provided. *(Feb 2021)*
