"A Mixed Experience"

While we have seen some positives at ACE Tiverton, we have also experienced some challenges. The school's focus on personalisation is great, but we feel that some staff could benefit from more training in managing complex behaviours. Overall, it's been a mixed experience, but we remain hopeful for the future.

"A Home Away from Home"

ACE Tiverton was more than just a school for our daughter. It was a safe and loving environment that helped her thrive. The small class sizes and tailored approach allowed her to reach her potential, and we are forever grateful for the experience.
