‘Go in open minded. Horizon are here to help so make sure you keep in touch with staff there. Text message updates are very useful.’

‘Tried every strategy and worked together. Always prepared to work together. Reviewed the placement on a regular basis to ensure it was appropriate.’

‘It would have been better if she could have stayed longer at Horizon. As she is settled and likes it at the school. Never liked school before. The teachers have had more time to explain work to her and more time to complete the work required. She has also been able to focus. I wish that the placement could be longer as pupils in the local community need a place like Horizon as the outcomes are so positive.’

‘Anything and everything that has happened at school is communicated home. Likes the personal touch of the phone calls.’

‘The amount of AQA she has achieved is fantastic and the food tech lessons has built her confidence up – (Child) is back to her old self. Do it definitely, such a shame that (Child) couldn’t continue. It is a game changer. (Child) is a completely different person at Horizon, so I recommend this placement to anyone.’
