We have seen a real difference in him over the past couple of months, he seems settled, happy and confident which is an absolute delight to witness.

When he first joined, he was anxious, withdrawn, and unsure of his place in the world. Thanks to the unwavering support, patience, and expertise of the staff, he has grown into a confident, capable young man who now looks forward to college with excitement rather than fear. The way the staff celebrated his every achievement, no matter how small, made him feel seen and valued. We are so grateful for the nurturing environment you’ve created, where learners are truly understood and supported.

Belgrave School has been a lifeline for our daughter and our family. Before joining, she struggled to attend school at all. The team at Belgrave welcomed her with open arms, took the time to understand her needs, and never gave up on her—even on the hardest days. We are forever thankful for the care, respect, and encouragement you’ve shown her. Belgrave will always hold a special place in our hearts.

The whole team go above and beyond.

The school deserves far more recognition for the miraculous work it carries out for those few lucky enough to attend.

In her time spent at Belgrave she has transitioned from a depressed, highly anxious, broken spirited child with low self-esteem to a bright young happy girl that loves school, is willing and able to take part in group activities and has a great future working at her best.

We are truly amazed at the breakthrough and progress our daughter has made. When she came to you she was more than 2.5years behind with reading. Over the last two terms she is now reading, she has at least kept pace and possibly closed the gap a little and her progress has been outstanding.

Thank you for believing in our son and helping him to re-engage in learning. We have been amazed to see the transformation in him into a calm and happy child willing to learn.

Belgrave is a community, the staff and teachers are just as interested in the families of their students, when you have a child in the cocoon of this school you are automatically included. This makes Belgrave a hugely happy and positive place to be which gives all parents the confidence to merrily wave their child off in the morning knowing their offspring will be in the very best of hands whilst they are away from them.

Belgrave isn’t just about a pupils education, they care deeply about welfare, happiness, positive attitude, confidence.

I firmly believe that mini miracles happen every day in this school from the child who wouldn’t talk to anyone being able to make friends, to a child whose mainstream school felt they’d never learn to read (they are managing rather well with the Biff and Chip books now and he is so proud of himself)!

I have often heard parents in the playground saying they don’t know what they would have done if they hadn’t got their child into Belgrave. I have said this myself many times and heard it echoed by all members of our family.

One of the key strengths of Belgrave is not that it’s just a small school it’s a shared appreciation of individualism and the strength that can be derived by developing children’s confidence and empowering them to believe in themselves so they can learn.

What Belgrave did for our son was to give him space to be himself and no longer be fearful.

Since day one at Belgrave we as a family actually saw a physical as well as a mental change in our son. When we secretly observed him, when we had meetings at the school we could see his engagement. All a massive contrast to his previous experience.

For us as parents we were able to breathe a sigh of relief that he was among professionals and peers that understood who our son was and did not treat him like he was a problem.
