Secondary school with experience in supporting dyspraxia private or state for niece

Hello, my niece has recently been diagnosed with dyspraxia and will soon move up to secondary school. Her primary school have not been majorly supportive but they have been trying to create supporting systems at home. Moving to secondary seems daunting esp as she is in a small primary. Does anyone have any experience of or can you recommend any secondary schools good at supporting this condition who understand it. Lots seem to understand dyslexia but not so much dyspraxia. I have heard St. George’s recommended?? Any advice really appreciated as it will completely shape her future having the right support in place. They are prepared to move to catchment or look at private but time is of the essence as she is p6. I know a good bit about schools here but less about additional support. Thank you in advance.

Might be too late as you posted over a year ago. I'm not sure about dyspraxia but Drummond at the bottom of Broughton Street in the city centre has a strong learning support dept, has caring staff and the school is up and coming (see my other post in 'Broughton Primary / Drummond Community High'.) They are small and under subscribed so she may well get in out of catchment.

We are also looking at Drummond for same reason, went to open day and really impressed. Good luck!
