I'm sorry, this has been done to death but please indulge me, I just want to make sure I'm not missing anywhere. We are looking for an occasional place for an autistic girl with an EHCP whose main presenting need is SEMH. A warm nurturing mainstream environment with decent staff: student ratios would do the trick. The following are on our radar already (have ruled out some of these for various reasons) but if anyone has any other great suggestions, I'd be very grateful!

Hampton Court House
Kew House
Radnor House
Thames Christian School
Thomas's College

(The likes of Canbury, Wemm's etc are a bit too small/specialist for our purposes I think.)

Are you prepared to pay the school fees?

If not then do you have a strong grounds for convincing council that only private route is something your daughter can go with?
There are state schools here in Richmond Borough with units for kids with ASD
