## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Room for Improvement, But Loving the Staff: We've been at Rosewood for six months now, and while we've had some issues with communication, the staff are genuinely caring and try their best. The Post 16 provision is also great, but we feel that there could be more opportunities for our child to engage in activities outside of the school. Keep working on it, Rosewood! *(May 2023)*
- **5/5** — Love the Rosewood Way!: We've been part of the Rosewood community for a year now, and we can genuinely say that our child has blossomed. The Rosewood Way is all about individuality and learning, and it really shows. We love the way the staff adapt to our child's needs and make learning fun! *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Fantastic School for PMLD Children: I was a parent at Rosewood Free School for four years, and I must say it's an incredible place for children with profound and multiple learning difficulties. The staff are so dedicated and passionate about providing the best possible education and care. The facilities are also top-notch, and my child loved the music therapy sessions! *(Nov 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Support and Care!: We've been so impressed with the support and care our child has received at Rosewood Free School. The staff are caring and professional, and the facilities are amazing - especially the hydrotherapy pool and sensory room! *(Sep 2022)*
