## About

Chalk Hill is a special education school for young people with autistic spectrum disorder and co-occurring social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH). We provide a caring, supportive and challenging learning environment where our students overcome their barriers to learning, reintegrate successfully into their local mainstream schools or another appropriate education provider, and into the wider community.

- **4/5** — Chalk Hill: A Safe Haven: Our child was struggling in mainstream school due to anxiety. Chalk Hill has been a lifesaver - the staff are understanding and supportive, and the school's values of empathy and kindness have really resonated with us. We're grateful for the peace of mind they've brought us. *(Nov 2021)*
- **5/5** — Our Child Thrived at Chalk Hill: We transferred our son to Chalk Hill after struggling in mainstream school. The school's trauma-informed approach and focus on SEMH needs were exactly what he needed. We're so proud of the progress he made - Chalk Hill truly helped him flourish! *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — A Positive Experience, But Some Room for Improvement: We had a good experience with Chalk Hill, but there were times when we felt communication could be better. The staff were caring, and our child enjoyed the Forest School program. However, we did feel that some of the facilities could be improved. *(Feb 2020)*
