He loves the school so much, really enjoying it. He tells me everything, every day, He really enjoyed cooking yesterday and is looking forward to tomorrow.

Thank you so much, he really has grown, all the hard work has paid off  .

Its so nice to hear all the good things. I’m a very proud mum, and your msg did give me a few happy tears

“He’s just got home – wow!  What a smile he has!  Thankyou so much for taking such good care of home.  He said he loves school.  A sentence he has never spoken before (and I never thought I’d here).  I’m so pleased his first day was a huge success.  His finger is fine, just hurts a little.  He can’t wait to come back tomorrow!  How amazing!!”

“Hiya we are all good here, he starts [college] on Thursday but is doing well been working most the summer with his dad, so he came back about a foot taller, blond and with a really good tan lol”

“Hiya yes all good ta, started college so he’s happy.”

“He’s doing well and loving it, has made friends and seems to be settling in great. 

He’s finding it very tiring, he’s struggling to find the balance with work and college but other than that he’s doing great.”

“Thank you for the message, he’s really enjoying it at college but genuinely is missing barley lane”

he’s doing amazingly thank you.. I hope you will all be as proud of him as I am.. and big thank you for every one for equally doing their bit to help josh become this amazing young man 😊

Taylor was really pleased with his results, we all were 🙂

Taylors managed quite well with the transition, still misses barley lane and think he always will. To him you guys were like an extended family. He was there 5 1/2 years 🙂

“Thank you (staff member) for all you have done for him over the years.  His maths and english have really improved, and he is in a much better place”

“You have been brilliant with contact you have phoned and text regularly and have always been at the end of the phone when needed. The school has also sent regular emails which have been really helpful. I can’t fault anyone everyone has been brilliant.”

“The staff team has provided me with such amazing support helping in every situation imaginable.”

“I think the support I had both from you and the school has been amazing and can’t thank both yourself and school enough.”

“He is treated as an individual and is supported in all areas and you just get him and ensure his needs are met when it comes to how best to support him with his learning and also social skills when out on activities having fun whilst learning”

“You have been great and I know I can always call you and you are there to help, thank you.”

 “You have all been amazing”

“Great communication, brilliant range of activities…he doesn’t moan about having to go to school, so to me that’s real progress and that he is enjoying it. Teachers are doing a great job thank you.”

“You are doing a great job in keeping us informed with school life and with what is going…he loves school he can’t  wait to get there he tells me he loves all that does”

“You work on a Sunday Afternoon to fill out paperwork so that the children can have your full attention during the week, I think that says it all!!”

“He is loving history at the moment and obviously loves cooking. He enjoys his days out at the farm and horse riding. Some days he claims he doesn’t want to go to school but I really feel like he is enjoying it.”

“You willingly came to our house and personally delivered work to him, not just for English but for Maths as well. You stood in the wind and rain at times and explained where he was going right and wrong, mapped out his work, delivered books and were an all-out star.”

“Communication and support has been amazing throughout. I feel the activities that the school offers are a fun practical way to expand his life…I feel the whole teaching and support staff are extremely professional whilst maintaining a very personal approach who have been a pleasure to deal with.”

“The communication has been wonderful, and everyone’s been very helpful.”

 “I think communication from Barley is fantastic, whether it’s a phone call or home visit.”

 “You have been absolutely fantastic.”

“I would just like to say that I think you are both doing an amazing job with our little man. He is thriving in education and this is down to your commitment and patience “

“The communication from yourselves to the home is superb and in all the years of having to work along- side education teams Barley lane has been the most proactive.”

“Everything has been absolutely wonderful. Plenty of support by telephone and teacher on doorstep. Felt that if I had wanted a place in school it would have been easy to ask. I can’t think of anything you could have done better.”

“Can I say the support you have provided for your pupils and parents/carers has been remarkable”

 “The support has been very helpful, reliable and consistent all in all excellent.”

“You always do your very best to be fair and ensure their needs are met, we have never met a teacher.”

 “I just wanted to say you’ve all done an incredible job over this crisis…”

“I would like to rate you at a 1 you have been brilliant support to me and my son and I would like to thank you for all your help during this rubbish time”

“I would say a 1 as the support that you have given us has been amazing, we have both felt very supported throughout the lockdown. So a massive thank-you, to you.”

“The level of support has been brilliant…And the support during the half term weeks has been so appreciated… it has helped us out loads, thanks.”

“I’m really happy with the way the school have performed in this lockdown. I’ve felt so safe sending him to school every day”

“I would rate the level of support as excellent. i have had lots of support from you and i really can’ thankyou enough. You have always been at the end of the phone when needed as well as regular contact.”

“The support I have been given has been absolutely amazing, from Emily and Caroline. It has really helped having him in school for 2 days, in an ideal world I would have liked more days but I understand the reasons why that hasn’t been possible”.

“The contact has been good, you know, you are dealing with a situation that none of us have encountered before and you are all doing the best you can. It’s fantastic that you have been able to come and do some work, I wish other schools which his siblings attend were able to do what you guys have”

“I have felt very well supported and there has been constant contact from staff. I think the work set has been very good, sometimes I’ve found it difficult to support at home because of a lack of resources. I would have liked him to have been offered 1 or 2 days back in school, but I fully understand why that hasn’t been possible”.

“I feel the support given to the families and children has been exceptional, excellent updates from the head to parents”

 “It’s very good “Good to know there is someone at the end of the phone”

“The support has been brilliant and this shows in the behaviour at home.”

“Very good communication throughout the lockdown period and all good work set, I’m just not a teacher and struggle to support learning at home”.

“I feel the support given to the families and children has been exceptional, excellent updates from the head to parents”

“Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!

“Support has been amazing, I couldn’t wish for my child to be anywhere better, everyone has been exceptional”.

“Really happy with contact – you are always available and quick to respond when I need you.”

“Kat has been a lifeline and has been there for us throughout these difficult times.”

 “You’re always on the end of the phone to help”

 “Very good – fantastic with calls, welfare checks have been brilliant and the heads correspondence is great.”
