That is why we have asked parents, carers and young people themselves to share their views and experiences of Arden College.

"My son has attended Arden since September 2021. As a family we have had a difficult couple of years and even though he attended school he wasn't engaging hence the move to Arden.12 months on I have a young man who has confidence, is positive about himself, enjoys life, has interests, is becoming more independent, is more relaxed especially at home, has developed skills to manage himself during a crisis, he can see a future for himself, and I could go on...
All the above is amazing and I can't thank the college enough for what they have done for my son and us as a family. However, yesterday I received an email to inform me that my son's artwork had been submitted to Oripeau and had been chosen to be displayed in Canada for a week and on their website; That there are currently 26 artists who have had their work chosen from the UK and one of them is my son. This email has blown me away and I'm struggling to put into words what it means to me as it's massive.
I can't thank the college enough but especially Lydia Haram the art teacher. She has made it possible for my son to produce the artwork by making it accessible, encouraging and believing in him so much that she submitted his work." Parent of a young person at Arden College
