I would be so grateful if anyone has any experience of the following schools: Grateley House School, Hampshire and St Dominic's School, Surrey. I am desperately trying to find a school for my 11 year old son who is going through the EHCP process. He has Asperger's (only diagnosed 2 weeks ago) and ADHD and despite 7 successful years in mainstream primary, with only an IEP for handwriting, he has struggled to make the transition to mainstream secondary school. I am really keen to find somewhere where he can continue music; he is a chorister and plays trumpet, piano and drums and also somewhere where he can do lots of running, he loves cross country running. He is bright and particularly enjoys science and maths and we would very much like him to be in a school where most of the children are aiming for GCSEs rather than entry level qualifications. He also loves chess. He needs to be somewhere where the behavioural challenges of ADHD/AS are understood as this has been the main barrier to success at mainstream. Ideally somewhere with small class sizes. I am very grateful for any other school suggestions too. We live in Wiltshire.
