- Parent“I like it because it is smaller than mainstream schools, you get to know staff more.”
- Year 7 Pupil“Since he has started coming to Oak Tree, I seem to be able to trust him more with things like going to his Gran’s independently.”
- ParentI like all the teachers here, it feels like they try and understand where I am coming from.”
- Year 9 Pupil“Certain children don’t thrive in mainstream, they struggle. This setting doesn’t make them feel like a naughty child.”
- Parent“I’m here because I’m not used to big classes and I still have some behaviour issues. I barely flip out anymore though so they are not as much as they used to be.”
- Year 7 Pupil“He is gaining confidence and doing new activities such as surfing, which I never thought he would do.”
