"Thank you for his EHCP Annual Review. We've had a read and it's amazing! We've all noticed a positive difference in our son since being at Helen Allison. It made me cry happy tears as we have waited so long for this moment. At the weekend he told his grandad that his new school is the best school ever and he's really glad he moved there. Thank you all!"
Parent, Helen Allison School
