Posting on behalf of friends who have recently adopted two small boys. The boys are lovely, but both have significant educational delays, particularly the elder of the two (7), although he has not yet had any form of formal assessment. As a result of being so behind his peers at school and his very disturbed early experiences, he is starting to have serious behaviour issues at school, and his school is really struggling to offer sufficient support. It seems in many ways that they would really benefit from the smaller class size and greater flexibility available in the private sector and the parents could afford it. However, the boys are not going to be very appealing to a private prep school, having both educational and behavioural difficulties.
Does anybody know any schools around Putney/Wimbledon/Balham/Streatham etc that might be able to offer these little boys that additional help they really need? Any schools that do not prioritise academic selection, or that you know to be very good at supporting children with difficulties? Thanks
