## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — An Amazing School for My Child: I'm so grateful to have found Colnbrook School. My child has ASD and the team has been incredible in supporting their needs. The 'My Learning Journey' program has really helped them make progress and feel more confident. The staff are caring and passionate, and the facilities are great. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who loves their child. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Great Start for Our Child: We've only been at Colnbrook for a year, but we've already seen a big improvement in our child's behavior and confidence. The school's values of 'Ready, Safe, Kind' really shine through in everything they do. The staff are welcoming and always available to answer our questions. Our only suggestion would be to add more extracurricular activities for older children. *(Feb 2022)*
- **4/5** — A Good Experience, But Some Room for Improvement: I have mixed feelings about our time at Colnbrook. My child had a great experience with the 'Learning Areas' program, but we sometimes felt a bit lost in the communication between teachers and the office. The facilities are lovely, and the staff are lovely, but I think the school could benefit from more parental involvement and feedback. Overall, it was a good experience for us. *(Jun 2021)*
