- **5/5** — Exceptional Experience for My Child: We cannot recommend Richard Huish College enough. The EnRICH programs and support have helped our child thrive in their studies and develop valuable skills. The boarding option is fantastic and provides a safe and supportive community for students. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Good Experience but Room for Improvement: Our child has had a good experience at Huish, with supportive teachers and a range of activities to choose from. However, we have sometimes found the communication from the college to be lacking, and there have been some issues with the online systems. Overall, we are pleased with the education our child is receiving. *(Jan 2023)*
