"A School That Truly Understands Neurodiverse Children"

Our daughter attended Great Oaks for a few years and we were blown away by the support and understanding she received. The school's emphasis on kindness, curiosity, and self-belief really resonated with us. We have no hesitation in recommending Great Oaks to any family who may be struggling to find the right placement for their child.

"A Lovely School with a Great Community"

Our daughter has settled in really well at Great Oaks. We love the smaller class sizes and the fact that the teachers really get to know each child. The school's commitment to student wellbeing is also a major plus for us. Our daughter has made some great friends and we feel confident that she is in a safe and supportive environment.

"Some Great Aspects, but Still Room for Improvement"

We have been pleased with some aspects of Great Oaks, particularly the dedicated therapists and the Forest School program. However, we have experienced some communication breakdowns with the school and feel that the sixth form could be improved. Overall, we are hopeful that the school will continue to grow and develop, but we are not yet entirely satisfied.
