Parent testimonials 2025-2026

Parent testimonial 1

It is difficult to find the words to truly express how grateful we are for everything you have done for our son.

With his previous school experience, starting with you felt overwhelming, not just for him but for us too! We were worried about him being accepted, understood, or happy at school. Thanks to you, those worries were eased.

You have all always seen him for who he is, not just the challenges he faces. You welcomed him, encouraged him, celebrated his successes and helped him through difficult days with patience, kindness and understanding. You have given him something we were worried he might never feel, the feeling he belongs.

His confidence has grown, his school work has improved leaps and bounds, he comes home feeling proud of himself, and seeing him smiling talking about school is something we will never take for granted.

What means more is the impact your support has had on our family life.

The skills, routines and strategies you have helped him learn have transformed life at home. Things that once felt impossible are now manageable and that gives us all more happiness, hope and confidence for the future.

You have been a part of his life for 3 short years but the difference you made will stay with us forever.

The gifts of patience, confidence and your belief in him can never be measured and we are forever thankful to you all for helping him grow into the amazing little boy he is.

You have changed his life for the better and in doing so you have changed ours too!

Forever thankful,

 

Parent testimonial 2

When I first heard that my child was going to a PRU it filled me with dread. However, I soon came to realise that it was infact a great facility for kids who could not attend mainstream school. The staff have patience and understanding and pupils are treated with respect. They took time to get to know my child and how to get the best out of him. Through reward and recognition, he soon realised that good behaviour resulted in good rewards; bikes, chess and pool to name a few.

There has been some bumps in the road over the last two years, but his journey has made him into the mature young man he is today, with a wicked sense of humour.

So to use Park’s motto, "Tomorrow is a new day." That is exactly what tomorrow is for him as he begins his new chapter at his next school.

I know he will miss you guys, although he probably won't admit it, and you will miss his banter and silly antics too.

You all deserve medals for the fantastic work you do.

Thanks again,

There aren't enough ways to say thank you that would come close to the gratitude and appreciation from my family to you. For taking care of our boy when he needed it the most and for helping him to finally enjoy coming to school.

You gave him the confidence and reassurance he needed to just be himself, and for that alone, we cannot thank you enough. We are so very proud of all he has achieved this year and it's all down to each and every member of staff at Park Aspire.

I know he is very sad to leave (as am I) but I know he'll be OK now. He's finally on the right path.

Much love,

 

Parent testimonial 4

This is a heartfelt thank you to everyone at Park Aspire.

When he first came to you before Christmas, we could never anticipate the changes we would see in our lovely boy. He has learnt to trust adults and look forward to coming to school, knowing and understanding that every day is a new day, with the chance to shine and enjoy his experiences.

The care, expertise and dedication shown by every single member of staff is truly inspiring and just so grateful that our child has benefited and flourished. Everyone's talents, as well as being kind and interested in making each day as good as it can be, mean we see the tremendous results in our boy’s behaviour and presentation.

 

Parent testimonial 5

We just wanted to say a few words of thanks for the help and support you have all shown to our boy. His journey at Park Aspire has been incredible and we are so proud of the young man he is becoming and a lot of the credit is down to yourselves.

From the support at the initial meeting and is early stages with his first class through to now, we are thankful for the daily stages of progress. We can’t thank you all enough for the many years and the memories that will last.

The three years he has been with you has just flown by and he has come on so much especially with his reading and writing. He has flourished and I can’t believe our once shy little boy is starting high school and a new adventure!
