"Excellent Support and Care"

I'm so impressed with the care and support my son receives at Lift Wishmore. The staff are always available to talk and the facilities are excellent. The values of being big-hearted, brave, discovering what's possible and pushing the limits really shine through. Our son has made tremendous progress since joining the school.

"Good but Room for Improvement"

My son has been at Lift Wishmore for a few years now and we've seen some positive changes. The therapeutic offer is excellent and the teaching staff are generally very good. However, we've had some issues with communication from the school and the breakfast club could be improved. Overall, it's a good school with potential for growth.

"Transformative Experience for My Child"

My son was a student at Lift Wishmore a few years ago and it was a truly transformative experience for him. The school's focus on social, emotional and mental health needs really helped him to thrive. The staff were incredibly supportive and the facilities were always clean and well-maintained. I would highly recommend the school to any parent looking for a nurturing and inclusive environment.
