"Mixed Feelings"

We've been impressed with the staff's dedication and the tailored approach, but we've experienced some communication breakdowns between home and school. The Lego Therapy program has been a highlight for our child, but we're still waiting to see the full impact of the school's efforts.

My child has struggled in the past with social anxiety, but The Haven School Wolston has provided a safe space for them to flourish. The Keyworker model has been particularly effective in establishing a strong connection between home and school. We're so impressed with the level of care and attention our child receives.
