Have you checked out Frewen? (if it would be suitable)

Or is this one of the 3 hours away options?

www.personalisededucation.co.uk is a fantastic school but a bit far away. Specialise in both.

Centre academy, they have one in battersea but not boarding and another (boarding) in east anglia. I know all the boarding children go home over the weekend.

A friend of mine has a son at Shapwick, Somerset. He's now doing brilliantly and so much happier.

Hula, I am trying to see the school you mention but I can't get it to work. Is that the right web address?

What about Abbotsholme in Staffordshire or Bredon in Herefordshire .Both are mainstream but have a high proportion of extra needs, they are also a lot more local than earlier suggestions

Hi, it's called St Annes College Grammar School in St Annes on Sea.

Or try www.sacgs.co.uk just checked - might be better. Worth asking for a bursary if you call them too!

Ellesmere is a specialist Dyslexic college,very sporty and poss on an Oswestry bus route

Hmmmm maybe sporty won't suit him, theater facilities and music looked good too(Viewed it for dyslexic sporty DD)

I have a friend who's children love it and we would have sent DD but for strong friendship ties at current school

If this advice is not too late - have a look at the "Crested" list of schools. You will find them using a good search engine.
They are approved private schools with reviews all over the UK.
~Good luck.
