I was quite impressed when I visited last year (DS is in Yr 7 now). He ended up going somewhere with more specialised support due to his SN, but if he had gone for mainstream I would have considered it. I feel that the overall size would swamp some children but only you can decide whether that would be right for your child.

I felt that it offered quite a regimented and traditional curriculum - something quite businesslike about it, which might not suit everyone. I've heard rumours of a HFA unit opening but not sure if that's going ahead.
