Hello,
Wondered if anyone has any experience of the above two schools, especially St Mary's?
DD has offers from both and we're trying to decide which would suit her better. She is currently at a small state primary but has got a little lost there, for a variety of reasons. She's currently being investigated for ASD but, regardless of the outcome, has very low self-esteem, anxiety and problems with sleep and eating. Also some sensory issues.
She's above average academically but our main concern is to find somewhere she can be happy and gain confidence in herself. We liked both schools on visiting - on paper, St M's looked the better fit, but Pipers have been very supportive throughout the process (not that St Mary's haven't). She also struggles socially and I'm not sure if a smaller or larger school would be better for that - I can see advantages to both, depending on how she gets along with her classmates.
Any experience would be very welcome.
Many thanks.
