## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Exceptional Support for SEND Students: My child has been attending Harbour Vale School for a year now, and I'm blown away by the level of support they've received. As a student with SEND needs, they require extra help, and the school has gone above and beyond to accommodate their needs. The 'Emotional Literacy' program has been particularly beneficial, and I'm so grateful for the care and attention our child has received. *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding Support and Care: Harbour Vale School has provided my child with an incredible level of support and care. The staff are genuinely invested in helping each student succeed, and their 'Trauma-Informed' approach has been a game-changer for us. My child has made significant progress since joining, and I couldn't be more grateful. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Experience but Good Intentions: While Harbour Vale School had some good intentions and a clear 'Believe, Achieve, Succeed' ethos, our experience was a bit mixed. The staff were friendly, but we felt that the school struggled to provide a stable environment for our child. We ultimately decided to transfer to a different school, but I appreciate the effort the teachers put in. *(Sep 2021)*
