It’s been 9 months since my daughter started with Highgate and the difference in her is unbelievable. She has built such trusted and positive relationships with staff and learners and made friends, she has built confidence in herself and is absolutely thriving.

When my child started at this school, she was non-verbal, and to see her now speaking words and engaging more with others is nothing short of incredible. The growth she has made, not only academically but socially, has been amazing.

Eighteen months ago, we were despairing, thinking that our son would never thrive in an educational establishment again. He had such a traumatic experience in mainstream education, it seemed highly likely that he would never know what it is to enjoy school and reap the benefits of a truly inclusive and enriching education. Happily, that has all changed since he started at Highgate.

The staff’s belief and encouragement for my son has been exceptional.

Every one of the staff that we’ve had contact with from HHH have been exceptional and we really do value all that they’ve done to help our daughter so far in such a short amount of time. She has many complex needs, with many different layers, but she also has such potential. The all round understanding of her behaviour (and drivers for behaviour) has been exceptional. The quality of teaching, the approach, the support that they give is exceptional. I can’t begin to tell you what a difference they have made to our mental health, let alone our daughter’s.

I can only sing the praises of Highgate Hill House School! My son has attended for the last four years, and I can attest to the kindness of the staff, the patience to support him and the skill developing his life skills and academically. We have had support from the school as parents, and this makes all the difference. The staff all love the learners and enjoy interacting with the children, and this makes a huge difference. I would not hesitate to recommend Highgate Hill House School!

Earlier this year, we were despairing, thinking that our son would never thrive in an educational establishment again. He had such a traumatic experience in mainstream education, it seemed highly likely that he would never know what it is to enjoy school and reap the benefits of a truly inclusive and enriching education. Happily, that has all changed since he started at Highgate. He actively enjoys going to school, and the bespoke transition that the highly skilled staff at Highgate have arranged has ensured that he has integrated seamlessly. We are delighted to see our boy socialising and enjoying his learning in such a supportive and nurturing environment.

Since coming to join Highgate, my son has gained so much confidence and is so much happier than he has ever been in a previous school. Previously he would not attend class and would not participate in anything at school. He would not talk or communicate with people and was an elective mute. Since September , when he joined Highgate he has made brilliant progress. He now reads independently and is confident in Maths lessons. He is chatty and has made friends. He participates in Cooking and Outdoor Learning activities which he really enjoys.

He has come home and told me that he ‘loves being at school.’

The staff at Highgate have been amazing working so hard to transition Alfie and Seren into school …the children arrive home happy every day and enjoy their time whilst there. I cannot thank the staff of Highgate enough for supporting not just the children but also myself through this transition – nothing is ever too much trouble.

Highgate has been a fantastic experience for a boy who lost all confidence and self belief in previous schools.

Jack absolutely adores coming to school it’s his favourite place to be 🙂 His teachers are all so supportive and completely understanding of his complex needs which makes his development and learning thrive….and the school setting is beautiful. Happy boy…happy parents.

My son Riley started at Highgate Hill House a few years ago in in year 7. He went to main stream primary but struggled more than you would know. When we found out Riley had a place here, we as a family were extremely grateful and excited.

When we first visited Highgate, Zac said to me afterwards ‘This is the one Mum’, and he was absolutely right. Highgate is the perfect school for my boy. I feel like he has finally found his tribe after years of struggling.

As soon as we looked around Highgate we knew it was the right choice for our son, the staff are amazing and always go above and beyond, we have never seen him thrive as much as he has done since starting in September.
