"Wonderful Support for Our Child"

Discovery Academy has been a game-changer for our child. The staff are so supportive and understanding of the challenges our child faces. The facilities are excellent too - the sensory room is a lifesaver on difficult days! We're so grateful to have found this school.

"Room for Improvement, but a Great Effort"

We're pleased with the progress our child has made since joining Discovery Academy. The staff are enthusiastic and committed, and we appreciate the effort they put into creating a supportive learning environment. However, communication can be a bit patchy at times, and we've had to chase up some information. Overall, we're happy to give it 3.5 stars and a hopeful 4.5 in time!
