"Life-changing education and nurturing care"

My child with autism and learning difficulties has thrived at Mortimer House School. The staff are dedicated, caring, and understanding, and the facilities are excellent. The 'All About Me' program has been particularly helpful in supporting her independence and self-expression.

"Some positives, but room for improvement"

My child has been attending Mortimer House School for a year now, and while there have been some ups and downs, I'm overall pleased with the education and care provided. However, I've encountered some inconsistencies in communication and support, which has made it difficult at times.

"Exceptional specialist education"

My son, who has complex needs, attended Mortimer House School from Year 5 to Year 11. The school provided him with a safe and supportive environment, and the staff were always available to offer guidance and advice. I was particularly impressed with the school's commitment to integrating clinical support into the curriculum.
