We are looking for a non-selective independent school in Surrey or Hampshire, ideally not too far from the M3, for our nearly 9 year old DS who is currently in year 4 at a good state primary in London.
He has an ASD diagnosis but not severe enough to get an EHCP. His teacher/ SENCO said that he performs just below average. He is a sociable kid and copes ok in mainstream but we feel he drowns in the huge classes at state schools and would easily fall behind, especially as he gets older.
We are looking for small class sizes, great pastoral care and ideally somewhere he could stay at until at least GCSEs.
For work reasons we would need to be located somewhere near the M3 with good access to London by train. I have already heard of More House which sounds great but would like to look at a wider range of options.
We would also consider SW London.
Any advice? Thanks a lot
