What people say about us

His whole attitude to himself as a learner and to achieving has changed. Learning Centre staff have managed to get him to engage with the learning process. The way Learning Centre staff direct his learning is excellent. They find ways around [his literacy problems] using ICT etc.

- Parent/Carer

He has been there a number of years and had quite significant difficulties before moving there, where he is doing really well. He is about to start mainstream college, is travelling independently and they have done a really good job with him to get him to where he is today. I am happy with how they have worked with him to follow his care plan to this point and the placement has been very beneficial for him. This has been a really positive experience for him.

Educationally they have created a whole package just for him really, filling it with interests, trying to help his independence. Emotional support for him has been really good, he has strong, positive relationships with staff. He struggles emotionally and with his mental health and they understand him and support him in just the way he needs when there have been any issues.
