I moved to N Able Worcester after leaving Norton College. I couldn’t cope at Norton — I got angry and sad and left after half a term.

N Able is so much better. It’s chilled, the staff care, and they’re down to earth and funny. Scott is a nice guy and really funny, Jacob is a nice guy, Dale is cool, and Alekey is good too.

Coming to N Able has made everything better for me.

When my son started at N-Able 5 yrs ago, he was dysregulated, mainstream school traumatised and really shut down. His self esteem, confidence and sense of worth were on the floor. He was unable to engage in many team activities and had minimal real connection with other peers.

N-Able supported him to feel safe again. Safe inside himself and externally in an educational setting. Staff skilfully encouraged him to pick up and brush off his sense of self and value. Through honest, meaningful conversation and trauma informed practice, staff here meet each student where they are and pace to the needs of the individual, without compromising on expectations of respect and integrity in return. They increase personal toolkits to support self regulation. My kid can now play team sports and boardgames, please don’t underestimate the enormity of that. He went in a boy and left as a confident young man. He delights in popping back in and is so proud to be known and celebrated there. Thank you will never be enough. I thoroughly recommend N-Able to any parent/carer of any student who has been victim of an archaic, ignorant and punitive educational system. /////

With huge gratitude, a Mum of a young man on the verge of not warranting an EHCP any more !

As carers of an N-Able student who previously struggled tremendously in mainstream education, we cannot stress enough what a positive impact N-Able has had on her this past year.

Over time, the staff managed to build trust and respect with her, whilst coming up with a bespoke learning package to suit her needs. Indeed, she arrives and leaves (almost always) each day with a big smile (even if she tries to hide it!) This was unthinkable some eighteen months ago!

As a family too, the strain has been totally taken away in so far as we’ve gone from having endless phone calls, meetings, unpredictable early pick-ups and days off school, to a stable, secure and reliable school week.

Thank you, N-Able Worcester

K has only been at N-able for a few weeks, and already we are seeing our lovable funny boy shine through again. Diagnosed with ASD and SEMH needs school is a real struggle, but N-able is giving him the opportunity to socialise and build his confidence. Thank you all so much, I recommend your safe inclusive space to everyone!

Having watched my young person struggle and suffer with mainstream education for many years I truly believed nothing could help him.

From day one the staff made him feel valued and listened to.He felt safe and secure.All staff take the time to listen and understand his needs.Flexibility around his changing needs helps so much to ease his anxiety.So much support with his education and life beyond school.

On his first day he went in with head down and all hunched up.4 hours later he came out head up high and smiling.Talked non stop on the way home about how great it was.Eager to return the next day.He cannot believe how helpful and caring every staff member is.It is wonderful to hear him talk so positively about his days now.

Thank you for all you do for these young people.
