"A Home from Home"

We've been blown away by the love and care shown by the staff at Kingfisher. The school's focus on trauma-informed practice really resonated with us, and we've seen a huge difference in our daughter's confidence and happiness since joining. The facilities are fantastic and the vocational pathways have really helped her find her passions.

"Exceptional School"

We've been utterly impressed with Kingfisher School. The PACE approach has been a game-changer for our son, who was struggling in mainstream school. The staff are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely care about the well-being of their students. The school's values of equity and inclusivity really shine through, and we feel lucky to have found such a wonderful community.

"A Mixed Experience"

We had a mixed experience with Kingfisher School. On the one hand, the school's commitment to social skills development was fantastic, and our child did make some great friends. However, we felt that the school could have been more proactive in addressing some of the bullying issues that arose. Overall, it was a good experience, but not without its challenges.
