What People Are Saying
“I’m so proud of how my son has come on after coming to Hopespring, he seems passionate about life again now and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
— Carer
“I am so proud how far I have come in the last few months, moving back to the North East, starting a new placement, resisting the temptation of drugs, meeting new carers, teachers and people my own age and the one thing I was most anxious for… starting a new school, not already knowing anyone. However, it turns out it is much better… no bad reputation, just a fresh start.”
— Hopespring Student
“I have three young people attending your school, all of whom have had extended periods without education, one not having attended a school for over 18 months. I must say the service you and your team are providing is simply amazing. In discussion with them they each report enjoying the school, describing it as “different” … One parent described the school as a “life saver” and, given the range of issues this particular young person experiences, I think this is true. The young person in question has made significant life changes, thus reducing many of the high risks factors that were present previously and the source of concern for a wide range of professional children services. You are making that difference.”

“Hopespring is marvellous – our son has changed as a person and he loves coming to school, we are really happy with his progress and I can’t think of anything more that you could do for these young people.”
— Parent
“Hopespring pushes me to my highest, and this helps me to realise my educational strengths and improve on the topics with help of the teachers to do so… I can already notice I am improving at Maths and English.”
