Excel Academy (Murworth)

Really good school safe and respectful and nice

Please, for the sake of your children, do not send them to this school. What happened to my son here is something no parent should ever have to recount. On his way to training one afternoon, he stopped and politely asked if he could use the bathroom. He was told to wait, so he sat there patiently, trusting that an adult would eventually help him. Instead, when someone finally came, he was cruelly kicked out and denied access to the restroom.As a result, my child was humiliated in the worst possible way. He soiled himself in public, in front of other children, and now carries a deep emotional scar from that experience. To deny a desperate child a bathroom is not discipline, it is not policy, it is not order—it is cruelty of the highest degree.I do not care what the written rules of this school may be. There are moments that demand basic human decency, compassion, and empathy. When a child is begging to use the bathroom, you do not respond with dismissal and humiliation. What this school allowed to happen to my son is inexcusable, and to me, unforgivable.This is not simply a failure of policy, it is a failure of humanity. Parents, please think twice before entrusting your child’s well-being to an institution that can display such coldness and disregard for a child in distress.

My kid has been at St Nicholas for a year now and he has thrived. The teachers are exceptional, the schools system is super diverse and we love it.

Rude staff and administration. Not sure how much experience anyone employed here has with Autism or behavioral therapies.....

This school goes above and beyond for their students and parents. They have an excellent and in depth education program, nurturing their students' full potential. They work well with the parents, always offering respect & understanding. Their nutrition is wonderful as well, even offering breakfast and supper for children who arrive quite early or have a later departure.
