“Lakeside school has provided stability in education, throughcontinuous hard work of setting boundaries to establishconsistency, with regard to managing our child’s behavioural difficulties. Due to our child experiencing considerable socialisolation, having been removed from school, Lakeside provided the opportunity for him to mix with his peers and develop skillswhich positively impacted on his self esteem and learning. The result at the end of KS2 SATs reflect that his achievements, aftera few months at Lakeside, far surpassed his predicted level 3’s in English, Maths and Science, as he achieved level 5 in Maths and Science and level 4 in English.”Local Authority
