Comments from Our Parents
Every child is different and the days and targets reflect their individual personalities. We like to support them so they are happy at school and make as much progress as they possibly can, in whatever area needs to be developed.

It’s lovely when parents say nice things about what we do. Here are some examples.
‘Another fantastic term. Great to see progress continuing to be made. I love to see her interest in arts and crafts. Great work from the teacher and staff.’
(Spring Term 2026 )
‘We are delighted with his progress over the Spring Term. He continues to amaze us with his progress and development and we cannot thank the staff at school enough.’

‘We have been thrilled with his progress so far this year. His speech and understanding are all improving and he has a positive relationship with his class teacher and adults in his class. We hope he can continue to work towards building positive relationships with peers and can begin to share his thoughts on things he has done in school.’

‘Really happy with my daughter’s improvement at Sandside since being out of school for over 16 months. Very happy with your understanding of her needs so quickly and the staff who work with her. She always shows she is happy with her new school and friends she has made. Can’t wait to see how she is going to support her own future needs. She is so happy since joining the school.’

‘We are blown away with all that he knows and his independence and self-care skills are really thriving. Thank you for all the help and support.’

‘We are very happy and proud of how well he is progressing at school. His communication and ability to re-tell what has happened in his day is fantastic – and his understanding/tolerance for conversation is really coming on. Thank you for all of the support and care given to him. It is really appreciated.’

We are absolutely delighted to see our son achieving and very proud. He’s had a tricky few years through puberty and it feels like we are getting the old him back now! Thank you for all the effort, time and patience that you give – it shows! A lovely report.

Thank you all for helping him enjoy his day and learn so many new things.
It is clear that you know and understand him very well. We are so proud of all that he has achieved – he amazes us with everything he knows.
Thanks again for the support and care given to him.

What a fantastic start to the year he is having! So happy with how well he has settled, especially as he’d not been with any of the other children before. He is always happy to get on the bus in the mornings so that’s a great sign. He’s coming along so well especially since using Grid on the iPad and loving his new love of books.

We are so pleased to read such a positive report about our daughter’s progress this term. What a difference from a short time ago. We can’t believe she has just one term left at Sandside! We can see at home little changes in her behaviour and skills, confidence in writing things herself and wanting to do more without us. We loved the show, it was fantastic. Thank you for all your hard work.

What a lovely report to receive. We are thrilled with his development over this term and are looking forward to seeing him develop so much more over this last term of his first year. Thank you all so much for all your time, effort and love that you put in to make our boy reach and surpass all his potential.
