What our families say
What our families say
We believe high levels of collaboration and engagement are key to effective partnerships. We seek feedback from our families on a regular basis and these are some of the things our families say about the school.
In July 2023 we were successful in gaining the Family First Quality Award which recognises our commitment to ensuring all families play an active role in our school community. Some of the comments below are taken from our FFQA report.
“Everyone takes into account my child’s needs and feelings, making him feel welcome and wanted.”
“Supporting the children with their needs and making sure they have a safe space for them when they need it my son been there nearly 2 years now and loves it!”
“Absolutely everything it’s a really great school and Saydee loves it! Constant communication regarding my daughter and I love how happy and settled she is.”

“Brian has only been in Hope Wood a short time but in that time he has improved in many ways i.e. his behaviour his language and in other ways he has benefited In many ways thanks to your academy please keep up your doing a fantastic job not only for Brian but for every child who is in attendance well done.”
“Treat everyone with respect and value them as individuals with individual needs. Learn at their own pace and specific interests and capabilities.”
“Bring out the best in them and help them achieve more new skills needed for real world.”
“I think the staff go above and beyond too support the young people and their individual needs each and every step of their current situation.”

What our families say about transition….
“The extra mile Hope Wood go to, to make the child feel comfortable, engagement, their unique welcome bear and meeting teachers beforehand!”
“The weekly visit was great before the transition and AJ was able to have his one to one there too which made it easier for him.”
