I'm so grateful to have found Vermont School for my children. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were made to feel welcome and part of the community. The values of belonging, believing and achieving are truly embedded in every aspect of school life, and I've seen my child thrive in a way that they never have before.

"A safe haven for children with SEMH needs"
My child was a student at Vermont School for a few years, and it was truly a life-changing experience for them. The staff are passionate, committed and caring, and the school's emphasis on emotional well-being and safety is second to none. I only wish we'd found it sooner!

"Some strengths, some areas for improvement"
We've been really pleased with the progress our child has made at Vermont School, and the staff are always willing to listen and support us. However, we've sometimes found the communication from the school to be a bit sporadic, and there have been a few instances where we've felt that our child's needs haven't been fully met.
