We are moving to London and need to find a school for our daughter (9 yo) with high functioning autism. She is currently in a mainstream classroom with support for most of the day. Would like a similar situation - in London or possibly a special school. She is doing well academically so far but does struggle with sensory regulation, social skills and sometimes motivation.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I assume that as she has support most of the day she has a Statement?

If so, you need to contact the LA in the area of London in which you will be living and discuss what school in their area can provide the support stated in the Statement.

If she doesn't have a Statement you need to contact individual prospective schools in the area you'll be living in and ask what support they could provide.

Millbank is fabulous - but with one pretty fundamental drawback. You have to live in Westminster.
