Area with good Support for Visual Impairement

Hi,

Our 3 years old child is visually impaired and we are interested in moving to a good area within 1 hour commute to Canary Wharf that has good support for visual impairement

We are in the process of drafting EHC plan. For sure, our focus on an area that has very good primary and secondary schools.

We visited several areas so far: Amersham, Chesam, Chorleywood, Richmond, Wimbledon, Twickenham, Orpington, Chislehurst, Beckenham, SevenOaks, Tunbridge Wells.

We don't have a conclusive decision yet. Some areas have outstanding primary schools but their secondary schools are not as good or the opposite.

We really liked Tunbridge Wells as a town, and the schools (primary and secondary) there look outstanding but we are not able so far to know if they have good experience with visual impairment. Wimbledon also is on our favourite list. However, there is just Rutlish as outstanding with good A results for the secondary.

Any idea / experience is highly appreciated. Thanks

I can’t help with advice about areas, but be aware if you move LA the new LA will review the EHCP and potentially amend, reassess or even cease to maintain.
