"A Home Away from Home"

We have been blown away by the support and care provided by the team at Cicely Haughton School. Our child has thrived in the nurturing environment and the staff have helped build their confidence and self-esteem. The facilities are amazing and our child loves the outdoor space and the residential provision.

"Some Great Aspects, but Room for Improvement"

We have been pleased with the progress our child has made at Cicely Haughton, but we have experienced some difficulties with communication from the staff. The facilities are excellent and our child has benefited from the residential provision. However, we feel that the school could improve its consistency in teaching and learning.
