## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Home Away from Home: My son has been at Oakwood School for a year now and it has been a game-changer. The staff are caring, supportive and truly passionate about their work. The sensory wall and 'Outside In' classroom are a highlight for my son, and I love how the school values kindness and respect. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — A Safe and Nurturing Environment: Oakwood School has been a great choice for our family. The school's approach to learning and care is truly child-centred, and the staff are always available to offer support and guidance. My daughter loves the 'Let's Eat Cafe' and the sense of community that comes with it. *(Jan 2023)*
- **4/5** — Some Positives, Some Areas for Improvement: We've been at Oakwood School for a few years now, and while it's been a good experience, there are definitely some areas that need improvement. The school's focus on kindness and respect is great, but the communication between teachers and parents could be better. That being said, our son has made progress and we appreciate the support he's received. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Education and Care: We moved to a nearby town and unfortunately had to leave Oakwood School, but our experience was absolutely fantastic. The school's focus on individualised learning and Smartbox technology really helped my daughter thrive. We miss the school dearly and appreciate the memories we made there. *(Aug 2022)*
