The teachers are kind, patient and truly invested in helping each child reach their full potential. We love the dyslexia-friendly environment and the emphasis on personalized learning. Our child has grown and thrived in a way we never thought possible. *(Dec 2021)*
- **4/5** — A Good School, But Not without Its Challenges: We had a generally positive experience at Birtley House, but it wasn't without its challenges. The school's values and approach to learning are excellent, and our child benefited from the outdoor and creative activities. However, we found the administration and communication to be a bit disjointed at times. Overall, I would recommend Birtley House, but with some caveats. *(Jun 2020)*
