The values they teach, such as kindness and resilience, are exactly what she needs to thrive. The staff are kind and understanding, and always go the extra mile to support their students. *(May 2022)*

The staff are truly exceptional, and the school's focus on emotional well-being has helped him to become a more confident and happy person. The facilities are also excellent, and the school's commitment to providing a safe and supportive environment is second to none. *(Mar 2022)*
- **4/5** — Some Positive Aspects, but Room for Improvement: I have mixed feelings about Lionheart School. On the one hand, my son benefited from the Therapeutic Approach and the supportive environment. However, I feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep them informed about their child's progress. Additionally, I was disappointed with the lack of extracurricular activities. *(Nov 2021)*
