Best school in Kent for ADHD support?

Anyone know a school which offers good support for ADHD? Preferably in area around Ashford or east of there up to Canterbury, but I will look further afield. I need to find a school for my 9 year old son who has ADHD (medicated) - he needs in class support for maths and occasionally throughout the day to bring him back on task and help him remember instructions. He also has poor writing and will need to learn keyboard skills soon.
Thanks for any info!

dd went to Temple Mill in Medway; she isn't SN but was a school refuser. A couple of her friends there had ADHD. The SN provision seemed good, def cured dd of anxiety.
A couple of others have similar ethos - Sherwin Knight and Chattenden. They're a bit out of your area, but might advise you?
Good luck

he's probably a mainstream boy and no - no statement at the moment- he's schools action plus. Please tell me about the Ashford area - this is probably our first port of call - mainstream primary is what we're looking for (he is 9 and a half) - he is quite an anxious boy and takes some settling in to new situations so I really want to get this right

"moving back to england" Could you let me know what school you settled on for your son. I am returning to england with 4 grandchildren and 2 are ADHD and the others require extra attention,

We need primary and secondary education.

I would appreciate any feedback anyone has for us.
