Parent's viewpoints
'I think having a
small,family-type environment works well for Alexander and as a result of the
fabulous care, activities, routine etc, that you provide both he and I are very
happy. What you do is fantastic.'
Sam Mickleburgh, Parent
The following are extracts taken from the recent boarding inspection, carried out by the Commission for Social Care in May 2006:
“the flexi
system has served us very well. St Peter’s
duty staff are helpful and committed. In
our experience a great deal of work and play is experienced between 5 and 8pm
which is why I opted for boarding. It
has also prepared him for increased independence in the future….my sons…could
not have had a better educational start than at St Peter’s”.
Of Housemaster, Chris Ball, one parent had the
following to say: “here is a professional
who…holds the welfare and happiness of the children in his heart”.
Of Matron, Hayley Carr, one parent observed that “in my experience she is always calm and
smiling and pleased to talk in person, or by phone, at any time. Frequently I have observed Hayley creating a
sense of well being within her new and younger charges”.
