Reviews / Testimonials
High Expectations
The school fosters high expectations and considers the attitudes and behaviour of the young people in relation to the wider community. Behaviour is well managed and there was clear evidence of rewards and sanctions. Students’ behaviour and attitudes in lessons, during lunchtime and generally around the school were very positive. They spoke to us, to staff and each other, with respect. They listened to and considered, the views of others. The wider community involvement is extensive and there is a very strong sense of community and British Values and traditions respected. Leaders value and use pupil voice to inform practice and support students’ independence. The school promotes equality and diversity and there are many examples of British Values around the school in displays. Pastoral support is very strong and leaders consistently work towards pupils gaining independence and preparation for future training and development. The workplace and adulthood are a key focus from the point of entry for each student. Strong transition plans are in place. Overall, in school students presented as calm, engaged, respectful and happy. The relationships in the school are rooted in mutual respect. The students are safe and engaging well and ready to learn.
Thank You
I have to honestly say like I did last week, we are amazed at what a difference you are making to our child’s life. We will continue to thank you all and recognise what a great job you all do. I know they haven’t been with you long, but we are so pleased we found you.
Welcoming and Accommodating
As a regular visitor to lady Byron school, staff have always been welcoming and accommodating, making me feel like a member of the team. They offer a nurturing space for their students and are passionate about what they do. They are always open to new ideas to support students and clearly want the best for them.
I Am So Grateful
I am so grateful for the past two years spent at The Lady Byron School, as I now turn my focus to my private practice and new projects.
Since January 2023, I’ve had the privilege of providing individual psychotherapy for autistic students in what is truly one of the most nurturing, inspiring environments I’ve worked in. The dedication of the staff – Irinder Minhas, Caroline England, Melanie Kinsella,Martine Browne, and the spirit of the young people make The Lady Byron School a very special place.
I’ve loved every moment of my time there and feel so grateful for the opportunity to be part of the journey of such incredible students. I can’t recommend The Lady Byron School highly enough.
It’s been a truly special chapter in my work, and I’m so grateful for the experience – it’s been a real privilege.
Enthused My Son To Learn Again
The school has enthused my son to learn again. He is no longer battling and is beginning to ‘become’.
She Has Friends and Feels She Belongs.
LB has not only changed my granddaughter’s life it has changed for all the family. She wouldn’t even attend school before but now she looks forward to attending. She has friends and feels she belongs.
Many Positives and Hopefulness For The Future
X is just transitioning back into school after being out for nearly three years. Although she is finding this stressful, this is not to do with school or the school community but with her own anxiety and energy levels. Her transition has gone far better than I could have hoped for so far with many positives and some hopefulness for the future. This has largely been due to the excellent transition process at Lady Byron, the willingness of staff to listen to X and what she needs to feel safe, and how lovely all of the staff and other students have been. Thank you
