"Exceptional school in every way!"

We're so grateful to have found Castledon School for our child. The staff are kind, experienced, and truly care about each student's individual needs. The facilities are excellent, and the programs offered - such as the Autism Outreach Service and Speech and Language Therapy - have made a huge difference in our child's progress. We've never felt so supported as parents.

"Some positives, some areas for improvement"

We've had a mixed experience at Castledon School. On the positive side, the staff are friendly and seem to care about each student. The facilities are good, and our child enjoys the residential experiences. However, we've noticed that the school can be quite inconsistent in its approach to certain issues, and it's taken some time for us to get the support we need for our child's specific needs.

"A warm and inclusive community"

Our child thrived at Castledon School, and we're so grateful for the experience. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our child felt included and supported, even when they struggled with certain aspects of their education. The Therapeutic Thinking Essex approach really worked for our child, and we saw a huge improvement in their mental health and well-being. We miss the Castledon community but are so proud of our child's accomplishments.
