Best North London schools (private and state) for SEN

[Avlev]

I’m moving into the area (Hampstead) and looking around for my DS1. He’s only little now (2.5) but I’d love to get an idea of the best schools- private and state- for SEN.

Because he’s so little, DSs challenges and strengths aren’t clear yet, but at the moment he’s presenting as very academic but with some sensory issues and some anxiety. Could be ASD (but with no speech or communication issues so far). I’d love to hear about positive (and negative) experiences of primary and secondary schools that actually take their SEN provisions seriously.
At the moment we are looking at a mix of state and private. Private school wise our list includes Heathside, Devonshire House, Annemount and Highgate (although of course he may very well not get in to any number of them.)
Would very much appreciate any advice. I’m woefully inexperienced at all of this.

Have a look at King Alfreds- its a bit ££ but they do offer bursaries later on. Their admission is non selective and first come first serve so places are tight as only 40 for reception. They don't have a great reputation on here but are one of the only privates I know of that arent selective. They do amazingly well with SEN children and have a number of them with EHCP's. There is a great mix of children and lots of room for confidence building- aaaamzing outdoor space!

Thank you so much Malmontar. I will absolutely look into that. It’s one I hadn’t really considered because it seems to get a bit slated on here, and also I thought you had to be down for it from birth, but will look into it if you think the SEN angle is something it does well. Thanks so much for the recommendation!
