“My daughter has been attending TLC since year eight. She arrived after a very traumatic year in mainstream secondary which had really knocked her confidence and given her a very low opinion of herself. She very rapidly gained in confidence and self-esteem due to the hard work and support of staff at the school.
The small setting and the high adult to pupil ratio have really helped her to access the curriculum and she has progressed academically to the point where she is able to sit GCSE’s and this was from a very low starting point academically.
Her high levels of anxiety are managed skilfully and every episode is a teaching point, as far as staff are concerned, in Rhiannon managing life on a day-to-day basis.
The family atmosphere allows all the pupils to explore their feelings and emotions on a day-to-day basis and whenever I visit, this close atmosphere is very evident.
Rhiannon loves coming to school and hates to even miss a day when she’s unwell. She has formed a close circle of friends (this was beyond her previously) and their in school and out of school social communication is managed and monitored well by staff.
Communication with the school is extremely easy and I’m kept up-to-date on academic and social matters by emails and texts.
It is always easy to come in and speak to a member of staff if we have any concerns and these are always followed up and the children are always part of any problem-solving needed.
I would unreservedly recommend TLC to any parent of a child with anxiety and/or learning needs.”
