## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A Mixed Bag: We've had a mixed experience with Springhead School so far. On the one hand, the staff are lovely and the facilities are great. Our daughter enjoys the pet therapy sessions and the school's emphasis on emotional well-being. However, we've had some issues with communication and the transitions between classes can be a bit rough at times. We're hoping things will smooth out as she gets older. *(May 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Home Away from Home: We've been at Springhead School for a few years now and I couldn't be more grateful for the love and care our daughter receives. The facilities are excellent, especially the hydrotherapy pool which has been a lifesaver for her. The values of respect, integrity, and positive attitude are truly evident in every aspect of the school. We feel so lucky to be a part of this community. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Journey of Growth: Our son spent three wonderful years at Springhead School, and we were blown away by the progress he made. The Forest School program was a highlight for him, and he loved the trips to the beach. We were initially hesitant about sending him to a specialist school, but the staff were incredibly supportive and helped him grow into a confident young person. *(Aug 2021)*
