What People Are Saying

  • “My child has made the best progress ever in his education since being in a therapeutic educational programme designed and run by the team at Acorn to Oak Education. It is designed around all of his needs, interests and skills with teaching and therapy integrated so he makes quicker progress. He’s happy and enjoys learning now.”

    Parent of a child in an out of school therapeutic educational programme

  • “Highly recommended.”

    Parent of an autistic learner, school placement package

  • “Our school placement broke down at the start of the summer term and by that half term we had accepted a place at a new provision for September with a plan for home based learning in between developed for us by the Acorn to Oak Education team. The new placement was in a setting we did not know before and has been a complete success. Thank you so much as we knew we were in great hands and it took the stress out of this difficult situation.”

    Parent of a learner identified with mental health needs, school placement package

  • “You’ve saved me the enormously daunting task of investigating all of this myself, and I’d never have found so many options without your help.”

    Parent of a highly able autistic learner

  • “I had spent years trying to find any relevant provision near us and thanks to the search now know all the local options plus their strengths and weaknesses.”

    Parent of a learner identified with SLCN and specific learning difficulties, school shortlist

  • “The kids love learning these great learning and life skills with Vicky and Leonie. Thank you for a great course.”
