"Thrive Programme"

My child has been attending Riverside College for a few months now and the Thrive programme has been a game-changer for them. The staff are excellent and have been working closely with my child to develop their emotional literacy and maturity. I've seen a huge improvement in their self-esteem and ability to cope with challenging situations.

"Supportive Environment"

My child has been attending Oakfield Project for a year now and I've been impressed with the supportive environment they've created. The staff are knowledgeable and caring, and have been working closely with my child to develop their skills and confidence. While there have been some bumps along the way, I believe Oakfield has been a positive influence on my child's education and well-being.

"Mixed Experience"

I have mixed feelings about my experience with EOTAS Swindon. My child attended Fernbrook College a few years ago and while the staff were dedicated and caring, I felt that the school could have done more to support my child's mental health needs. The ELSA programme was beneficial, but I felt that the school was reactive rather than proactive in addressing my child's struggles.
