"Positive Experience"

We've had a generally positive experience with Educate U, but there's been some inconsistency with communication and consistency in the classroom. The staff are kind and patient, and our child loves going to school. However, we've had to advocate for our child's needs more than we'd like, which can be frustrating. Overall, I think Educate U is a good option for kids with special needs, but it's not without its challenges.

"A Home Away From Home"

Educate U has been a game-changer for my child. The trauma-informed environment and compassionate staff have helped him blossom in ways we never thought possible. We're grateful for the 6-week therapy blocks for parents and carers in crisis, which have been a lifesaver. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a supportive and inclusive community.

"Helped Our Son Flourish"

We were hesitant to send our son to Educate U, but the initial meeting with the headteacher and the daily Earwig updates put us at ease. The staff's commitment to every child achieving and the emphasis on safety, trust, and collaboration were exactly what we needed. Our son has made significant progress in a short amount of time, and we're so proud of him. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that we moved out of the area and had to find a new school, but we'll always be grateful for our time at Educate U.
