All we can say is that whatever they do at Oakham Shires it has changed the son we have. He really has changed and it is for the better

Thank you for taking on our son, the change in him is massive, he can be himself. As a family we have waited a long time for this and we are forever grateful

Thank you for being so caring and understanding towards me and making me feel so welcome. You have all made me feel heard again. I feel so much more confident, thank you.

I think the domestic science has been brilliant, giving …. an opportunity to understand the ingredients as well and how the food chain works from field to fork.

I think the staff at Oakham Shires have been amazing and are very quick to react and attempt to work with any issues that arise.

I am still amazed at how well and how quickly …… has settled into being in school, it has far exceeded expectations! He is able to enjoy learning whilst also being given time to talk about/see his special interests which are very important to him.

My son is happy attending Oakham Shires and is really enjoying learning again, especially Maths. He says he feels safe with his teaching staff. He feels comfortable enough to tell them his feelings and joke with them which is brilliant; he has always felt unable to speak to teachers before, let alone joke with them.

You gave me a second chance at education and at trusting people. It meant a lot that I found a place that understood my needs and didn’t solely focus on my education but balanced both. Thank you for the memories.

My son is a different child since joining Oakham Shires and it has made my life so much easier
