"Still Finding Our Footing"

My child has only been at Lamledge School for a few months, but I can already see the positive impact the PACE approach is having on their behavior and attitude. However, we're still finding our footing and adjusting to the school's routines and expectations. I'm hoping this will settle down soon and we can see more progress.

"A School That Truly Understands"

Lamledge School has been a game-changer for my child, who has SEMH needs. The school's deep understanding of complex trauma and its effects has enabled them to provide a tailored program that has helped my child build resilience and confidence. I'm so grateful to the team for all their hard work and dedication.

"A Loving Environment for My Child"

My child attended Lamledge School for two years before moving on to college, and they thrived in the nurturing environment. The teachers and staff were always available to talk and offer support, and the programs on offer, such as the outdoor education program, helped my child develop a love of learning and adventure.
