Reviews & Testimonials

At Elevate-Ed, we collect feedback from learners, parents, carers, and commissioning schools through structured placement reviews and end-of-term evaluations. This ensures every voice is heard and helps us continually refine our provision.

The testimonials below are drawn directly from these reviews and reflect the real impact Elevate-Ed has on confidence, engagement, and progression.

📌 Learner feedback has been anonymised in line with safeguarding practice. Parent/carer and staff testimonials are published with consent.

    R - KS3

    NDHS Learner - KS4

  • "It’s made me confident to speak up, do things I never did before. It’s made me happier."

    W - KS4

  • “It helps you cope with school and get over fears. You’re listened to, and everything you say is taken seriously.”

    NDHS Learner - KS3

“The pace was tailored to my child and took into consideration that he was out of a typical school routine and hesitant in attending initially. This was not an issue and he was shown patience. None, I’m happy that my child is happy.”

“My child’s confidence in himself has improved. He now talks to me about his day and wants to continue some of the activities at home. He has offered to cook for me and felt proud. It’s nice to see him have something positive. His enthusiasm to attend is greater than when he attended mainstream. We don’t have meltdowns afterwards, he is very content.”

Keely - Parent

“Willow found it very difficult to discuss her feelings with others as she felt they would judge her, but through Elevate-Ed she has opened up more and feels able to share.”

“Willow felt comfortable with Aaron which is good and rare for her to trust someone. She liked his sense of humour and he brought out some good discussion.”

Marie - Parent
