## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A good school, but some areas for improvement: We were pleased to see our son make progress at Peterhouse School, but we did experience some challenges with communication and consistency. The staff were generally supportive, but they could benefit from more training in autism awareness. Overall, a good effort, but room for improvement. *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — An amazing school with a true commitment to autism: We were blown away by the enthusiasm and dedication of the staff at Peterhouse School. From the Eco Club to the music performances, our son is always excited to share his experiences with us. The school's commitment to supporting autistic children is truly inspiring. *(Feb 2021)*
- **5/5** — A school that truly understands our child: We have been so impressed with Peterhouse School since our daughter started. The staff are supportive and understanding, the facilities are excellent, and the 'Blended Offer' has been a game-changer for her. She has finally found a place where she can thrive. *(Sep 2020)*
