I love my school!

Having a good day at school and listening to my favourite music on the way is the best feeling!

We have heard our daughter say how much she enjoys the food at lunchtime and that she's been enjoying connecting with other students in the class, particularly one who has a similar interest in cars like she does. She was impressed with the FT space yesterday and loved that lesson as well as DT, Science and is excited at the opportunity to use a laptop for English. She has not been overwhelmed when returning home from school which is a first - a noticeable difference, which is quite remarkable given she hasn't been in a school setting since December 23. Many thanks to everyone involved in supporting a great start to the new term.

Good evening, This is amazing news Michael seems very happy lately, laughing and joking - it's so lovely, he is becoming more confident in himself and socially, over the holidays we went camping with family before he wouldn’t talk to anyone but he instigated a lot of conversations. He’s being more open with his sensory needs and over the holidays he has asked for some chews he does have these but said he’s embarrassed to use them at school, with that if he does use them, he may over use them and his jaw hurts. I'm glad he's making friends and this is something he's really struggled with in the past. He has mentioned to me about Adam’s birthday party, Adam has invited him but I think he's worried about asking details so if it's allowed, I'm happy for my contact details to be shared with his parents. I would love for him to see his friends out of school. (I understand if this isn't allowed). 1:1 in Maths would be fantastic last year he said he really likes Mr Topliss and I think he makes a big difference. He is making unbelievable progress and we are extremely proud of him. If there is anything that you feel we can do please let me know.

Unfortunately, our son doesn’t feed much information back to us, but always comes home stating he’s had a good day. We are amazed at how much he is achieving and doing at Grateley, in such a short time. He has changed so much already and has built up so much confidence. No longer do we have meltdowns in the morning and he’s always happy to get ready to attend school, which has been very different over the past 5 years. He’s been coming home with many wonderful things he has created and baked which he usually wouldn’t undertake. Honestly, we as a family can’t praise you all enough for the change and support you are providing him.

Star outcomes have helped me visually see the progress I have made during my time at Grateley house school. I found it helpful and enjoyable discussing my progress and what targets need to be put in place. In order to help me reach my future goal of going to university.

I found completing the Student Star with my student brought out discussions they would often shy away from. We were able to have good discussions about our scores on the Star and how they varied from each other’s and give examples of situations which make them score the score given. A good tool to open up good discussions.
