I just wanted to say a huge thanks to you all from Leon and our Family, we will be forever in your debt.

Linton School has literally changed all our lives, but especially Leon’s, he was really struggling with his education and life in general in main stream school, he was down to two hours a day at school and falling further behind daily with his education. Eventually after a lot of fighting we were offered a place for him at Linton.

I remember taking Leon to have a look around and meeting staff and some pupils to see what they had to offer, we were literally blown away by how friendly and welcoming everyone was, so much so Leon decided immediately that’s where he wanted to be. We have never looked back, the staff here have been amazing, they constantly encourage their pupils to do the best they can by having such a positive attitude to learning and rewarding good and positive behaviour. Leon has grown into a fine, well rounded young man. He has just finished his GCSE’s and has a college placement ready to start in September, he has completely turned his life around and that’s definitely down to shear determination and great encouragement from the staff at Linton.

I really can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and dedication to Leon and our family as a whole, the support we’ve had, has been wonderful.
