They gave my son his spark back

My son had been out of school for months. Harbour rebuilt his routine gently and he's now working towards his GCSEs again. The staff genuinely listen to parents.

Small groups make all the difference

Class sizes of six mean my daughter actually gets heard. Communication home is regular and honest — even when there's been a tough day.
