We’re proud of the strong relationships we’ve built with our families. The feedback we receive from parents reflects the dedication of our staff, the positive learning environment in our schools, and the difference we’re making every day. Here’s what our parents have to say about their experience with us.
“The support I received in school was the first time in a long time that I felt seen as me, not just my diagnosis.”
— Former Student
“My daughter’s transition to Cambian New Elizabethan was sorted out quite sensitively and ensured a steady transition to specialist provision after leaving mainstream high school. Given that she had a period of six months away from education while waiting for her placement to be agreed and was quite anxious about reintegrating, I found Cambian New Elizabethan very proactive in allowing my daughter to express her feelings and opinions over the timing and speed of her transition. There wasn’t a one fits all approach; the days she started with were planned carefully around her interests and to reduce stress and anxiety. When there were hiccups, as expected in any new placement, Cambian New Elizabethan were quick to discuss and offer options.”

“My son had 3yrs of daily check-ins at primary school but couldn’t access school – the approaches adopted have seen him increase his attendance to full days and he never wants to miss school now. We would never have believed this was possible, he has good relationships with staff and has been on overnight school Duke of Edinburgh trips. He is going to France at the end of the year. The right approach in the right setting can have a huge impact”.
– Parent Cambian Red Rose
“The thing that helped the most was visiting the school at the weekend with no one else around. He touched everything, smelt everything, and then it was his place.”
