"Mixed experiences"

We've had a mixed experience at Fordwater School so far. Our child has benefited from the school's focus on 'relentless positivity' and the staff are generally friendly and approachable. However, we've encountered some communication issues and would like to see more opportunities for parental involvement. Overall, we're pleased with the school's efforts but feel there's room for improvement.

"Wonderful school!"

We've been at Fordwater School for three years now and it has been a truly life-changing experience for our child. The hydrotherapy pool and sensory rooms have been particularly beneficial for their development. We love the school's focus on 'relentless positivity' and the positive relationships between staff and pupils are truly inspiring.

"A loving and inclusive community"

We were part of the Fordwater School community for six years and it was a truly wonderful experience. The school's values of empathy, respect and kindness are evident in every aspect of the school. Our child thrived in a supportive environment that celebrated their individuality. We miss the school dearly and are grateful for the memories.
