Mission Statement: “An outward-facing, self-improving, centre of excellence.”
Thank you for giving our daughter the skills to continue to progress and ultimately be happy.
Our daughter is coming on leaps and bounds and I couldn’t be more proud of her.
Since our son started at Linwood, he is happier about going to school every day.
It has made a huge difference to him.
We feel that our son’s confidence has grown a lot and every day
he surprises us with what he says, does and achieves.
I am thrilled with how well my daughter has settled into her class and the progress she has made.
We are so pleased with our son’s progress. His confidence has grown
tremendously and he is much more relaxed in new situations.
