“What Belgrave did for our son was to give him space to be himself and no longer be fearful. I think his trauma was such that it took the first couple of years to build him back up to a fit psychological state to actually start learning. We know he isn’t terribly academic but at Belgrave he actually had a crack at it . Latterly his art teacher believed in him and encouraged him to have confidence in his own abilities as an artist. She has gone the extra mile to build him up, going out of her way to chase us up to push him, using her own time to help him and encourage him. That is real dedication and that is real teaching.”
