I am new to mumsnet and I need some advice. I was hoping you experienced parents with pre-teens/ teens could help.
Our DS is currently in year 6 and has been offered secondary school places at Highgate Wood and Maria Fidelis FCJ.
Our DS has additional support needs which include Dyslexia, ADHD and it has been suggested that she may possibly have dyspraxia. She is super confident, quirky and excels in sports as well as performing arts. She does have some challenges when it comes to the academic side of things and finds it a bit difficult with spelling and some aspects of maths. We would like to know from your experience which school would best meet her needs. A good SEN department is imperative. Both schools have their pros and cons. Highgate wood is large school and fear our DS May get lost in the crowd and this fail to receive the adequate support needed. Maria Fidelis is a lot smaller however, and the SENCO seems to be really pleasant and on the ball but the doesn’t necessarily equate to good SEN as we have seen this before and looks can be deceiving.
Any advise would be welcome.
Thanks in advance!
