What people say about
Lexden Springs Residential Special School

The staff at Lexden Springs go above and beyond to help support and understand my child, they are always professional and extremely understanding I could not fault them in the job they do, they are amazing.

Lexden Springs School has been brilliant since my daughter started, the support we receive not just for our daughter but as parents too is fantastic.

There is a high level of expertise in the school that helps us as parents shape some of the changes we need to implement at home and cultivate consistently and constantly to help our son be the best at whatever he does.

I always get help and support I need from the school. I am especially thankful to the family liaisons for being so helpful.

The workshops were very informative and covered all that I needed to know about the school

Staff are excellent at breaking things down and looking at things from a different perspective, which helps me to understand my child.

The teacher knows my son so well – its lovely to discuss the progress he is making.

My son has made lots of progress with his communication – we can’t stop him talking now!

Brilliant and helpful as always. My child enjoys signing so thank you for all your help.

We’ve noticed real positive changes since he has started at Lexden Springs and we are excited about the future, for the first time in a long while.
