## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — A Warm and Welcoming Community: From the moment we visited Pinewood, we knew it was the right school for our son. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the focus on SEN is reassuring. We love the way the school celebrates every child's achievements, no matter how small. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — A School on the Right Track, but...: We moved our son to Pinewood from a mainstream school, and while we're pleased with the SEN support, we feel the school could do more to engage with parents. The build update is exciting, but we're worried about the impact on the students. Still, we're proud of the progress our son made during his time here. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Exceptional School, Exceptional Staff: I've been blown away by the level of care and support our daughter has received at Pinewood. The facilities are always clean and well-maintained, and the staff go above and beyond to ensure every child feels valued and included. The Peter Pan summer show was a highlight of the year! *(Jun 2022)*
