Imminently I am going to need to choose a primary school for my DS.
It's great that due to the new DoE rules for adopted children that I can choose any school and get priority, but that's also adding pressure to choose the 'right' school out of about 20 primary schools within a 1.5 mile radius.
I am gathering info about school open days and making a list of things I want to know. Here's what I have so far:
Is the school environment calm (DS gets anxious and overwhelmed)
What is their knowledge/experience of any adoption related issues.
What is their knowledge/experience about ASD (as some of DS behaviours when anxious manifest in the same way as mild autism)
How do they go about transitioning new children into the school.
How do they go about transitioning children into subsequent years.
Does anyone have any advice on what else I need to be looking for/asking that I haven't even considered?
