"Some great aspects, but needs improvement"

While we love the enthusiasm and creativity of the staff, we've experienced some inconsistencies in communication and support for our child. The sensory integration programs are really valuable, but we've had to push for more regular updates on our child's progress.

We're really happy with the progress our child has made at Kaleidoscope. The headteacher, Sam Goodin, is always approachable and communicates clearly with us about our child's needs. The school's focus on mental health and wellbeing is also reassuring.
