Does anyone here have experience of Ruskin Mill College (residential)....or the other sites?
Looking for next September but it's at least a 6 month process, visits for this September are already fully booked so I won't be able to see it in person before annual review 😬.
Thanks.

I don't have any personal experience of any of their schools, but have heard positive things about some of them, although not the one you are looking at.

We looked round glasshouses for ds2 (before covid) and liked it. As the name suggests they focus on teaching crafts such as glass blowing and glass engraving in small groups as well as drama and hospitality. I think it would have helped ds2 with his anxiety (primary diagnosis ASC) but in the end he chose to do something more academic. The young people looked to be well supported and enjoying what they were doing.

Thank you both.
One of the other sites can offer me a visit next week, so I'm making the journey to try to get a feel for the trust.
🤞
