"An absolute gem of a school"

We've been blown away by the dedication and care of the staff at New Direction. The values of the school - Ready, Respectful, Safe - are evident in everything they do. Our daughter has thrived in the small class sizes and has developed a love of learning that we never thought possible.

"A good, but not perfect experience"

We've had a mixed experience with New Direction. The staff are lovely and the facilities are fantastic, but we've struggled with communication at times. Our son has enjoyed the equine studies and has made some progress, but we feel he could be pushed further.

"Life-changing experience for our son"

We were so impressed with the holistic approach to education at New Direction. Our son was initially hesitant, but soon flourished in the therapeutic environment. He developed a passion for animal care and made incredible progress with his ASDAN qualifications.
