Can you please recommend a mainstream secondary school that deals well with SEN - ANYWHERE in UK and UNDERSUBSCRIBED!

We want to move ds (Y8) from his current school as he is making no progress, is stressed and unhappy and is not having his SEN dealt with.

There is no other choice of school locally locally and so we have decided to move to an area with a school he could attend that might actually help him.

His SEN are dysgraphia/dyslexia and many aspergers-type traits (though this has not had a dx so far).

I had loads of fantastic suggestiions here on this thread

but unfortunately the schools I have called so far are generally oversubscribed.

Can anyone please recommend a school for us Smile

Try this one (really must stop recommending it, or it'll stop being undersubscribed and my DD won't get a place!). Friend's autistic child is happy there, as is my stressball son after we moved him from a school where he too was being bullied.

Queen Elizabeth's Grammar, Ashbourne (a comp despite the name)
