What Our Students Say

Before Beacon, when I went to school it was rubbish. I used to get suspended all the time and put in isolation for walking around to regulate myself. Now I get help with things and breaks when I need them. I’ve even done things I didn’t know I could do… It’s quiet, small, and just right for people like me.”
R, pupil at Beacon

“Before I started at Beacon, my life was going downhill… Then I met my tutor, Fi. Now I’m learning again, doing Maths and baking, and I’ve made a best friend. I’m super proud of how far I’ve come.”
O, pupil at Beacon
