Our son (a native English speaker) has been at ACE for 3 years, after moving from a country where he was learning in another language and with a relatively low quality of teaching/education. We were concerned about how he would manage to get up to the right level in the Cambridge International system. We found from the outset that the teaching was of a very high standard and that the teachers clearly paid attention to and understood his individual personality and learning needs.

My teenage son is loving being a student at ACE. He has grown in confidence as the school adapts the curriculum to meet his needs. He has individual support at all times in lessons as well as two private sessions a week with a speech and language therapist and an occupational therapist. Class sizes are very small and he has made some wonderful friends. The teachers are patient and understanding of the child's individual need. We are so happy to have found this school for our son.

This school is using disability as a business opportunity, relying on “revolving doors”, without having the needed knowledge, training, professionals and attitude, while asking for a steep fee. In case of our son, it has been exclusion with no SEN education provided despite the advertising, and no organising authority to monitor the activities. There were other families experiencing the same.
