Choosing a school (for 2013)- yes, I know I'm early, but bear with me!

[Galena]

DD was born at 27 weeks and has mild cerebral palsy. She is not affected cognitively (taught herself to read at Christmas aged 2yr 9mo - I know that doesn't make her a genius, but she's bright), however, physically she was a late walker, not walking till 2yr 2 mo and still very wobbly. She can't run, jump, etc and tires easily. She has a wheelchair for distance use and barely copes with a morning at playgroup before she collapses in a sobbing heap because she's tired.

There are 3 local schools near here - let's call them A, B and C.
A is the church school connected to the church we attend regularly. There are 200 pupils on roll and it has an 'Excellent' Ofsted rating.
B is a school which was in special measures a number of years ago (2007), however now has a 'Good' Ofsted rating. It has 100 pupils on roll.
C is the closest school. It is a separate infant and junior school. The infant school has 210 pupils and 'Good' rating, the juniors has 300 pupils and 'Excellent' rating.

I plan on contacting each school soon to visit them. However, I have no idea how to go about choosing a suitable school for her. I don't know what questions to ask them. Any suggestions?

Sounds as if school A has been well and truly dumped! It sounds as if school B really wants her and is willing to make it work. Wonder what school C is like. Have you spoken to them about admission criteria? Do medical needs get priority, if you can get into that category, and with no upstairs it would be easy to argue for school B.

Yes, medical needs would get us in, i believe. Can't remember if it is above or below siblings, but i would have thought we are fairly certain... I think there were 7 siblings last year. Going to see school C on Tuesday so that will be interesting. I think it's going to be too big though.

I am also going to talk to the head at school A next week too, as so far the only person I've had contact with is the secretary, but I would need to be persuaded it was the right choice for her, which I'm not at the moment.
