"Some positives, but concerns about consistency"

We've had a mixed experience at Talbot House. The staff are generally lovely and the nature garden is a great idea, but we've had some issues with consistency in the way things are done. We're hoping that the school will work to address these issues and live up to its core values.

"Life-changing school"

My daughter attended Talbot House from Year 5 to Year 11 and it was an absolute game-changer for her. The staff went above and beyond to support her and the Occupational Therapist and Speech and Language Therapist made a huge difference to her progress. We will always be grateful.
