“Since our son arrived at The Rowan School in January 2020 after being excluded from his Mainstream setting, he has gone from being a scared, shy and confused little boy, to being a bright, confident, independent young man.“

“The Rowan School has been an amazing transformational provision for our looked after child. After being rejected from several schools, the Rowan school offered welcoming hands to us.”

“I visited The Rowan School as a representative of Dudley Local Authority. I had the pleasure of meeting a number of students who were eager to share their good work with me. Each student was extremely proud of the work they had completed and every book I looked through was full of excellent work with good feedback from the teachers. As I was shown around the school, all students in the classrooms were engaged and contributing to the lesson.”

“The Rowan School is supportive not only of pupils but parents also. Very opening and welcome with a rich diversity of staff and pupils.”

“My child couldn’t read, write or speak when they first started. Within the year she started speaking, reading and writing, and she has come on tremendously.”

“When my child started he could only write his name. He previously did not enjoy his old school, he is now comfortable in The Rowan School setting. The school is open and supportive to both pupils and parents.”

“Since S has been at the Rowan School she has blossomed. If she was still in a mainstream school her progress would, without doubt, have been poor in comparison. You and your team are doing a remarkable job!”

“My son transferred to the Rowan school after having had a significant time out of a formal mainstream school setting. Although the transition was challenging, the staff expertly supported his needs; allowing him to feel safe, secure, and grow confidence in the setting.”
