"Bullying and poor behaviour"

The school is supposed to be for dyslexia - NOT for children with behavioural issues, and yet it seems to harbour bullying which is not dealt with.

"A Life-Changing Experience for Our Child"

We've been blown away by the care and support our child has received at Knowl Hill School. The nurturing environment and tailored programs have helped them build confidence and thrive in ways we never thought possible. The staff are truly dedicated and passionate about their work, and we feel so grateful to be a part of this community.

"A Home Away from Home"

We were initially hesitant about sending our child to a specialist school, but Knowl Hill has exceeded all our expectations. The facilities are top-notch, and the staff are always willing to listen and adapt to our child's needs. We love the emphasis on life skills and emotional intelligence, and our child has really flourished as a result.

"A Mixed Experience"

We had a bit of a rocky start with Knowl Hill School, but the staff were ultimately very supportive and helped our child settle in. While the facilities are great and the values align with our own, we felt that the school could have done more to engage with us as parents and communicate effectively about our child's progress. Overall, it was an okay experience, but we're not sure we'd choose to send another child there.
