Hello, I’m moving after Christmas from London with my two boys to Wokingham , both boys have additional and complex needs. I’ve heard locally that Dolphin school hurst is a special needs private school, with excellent sen specialists. Reddam house school less so does anyone have any experience of either? I really would appreciate any advice.

My kids go to Dolphin school hurst. They are actually just building a new library and sensory art rooms, with disabled access.
They don’t follow the national curriculum and tailor education to the child and their special needs. The lack of uniform and relaxed attitude helps kids who get overwhelmed.

Reddam really don’t do SEN, they will say that they can’t meet your dc’s needs. Dolphin sounds a much better fit.

Funny fox I wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t say that I bitterly regret sending my dc to dolphin school.

Why?

I would really like to know, Thekindlyones, what it was that made you regret sending your child/ren to Dolphin. I would greatly appreciate some more info.
I have seen on another site questions directed to Department for Education about the school, Dolphin school, being accused of child safeguarding abuses. Does anyone know anything about that?

Thank you

If you want your child to be bullied belittled and berated daily this is the place.

I assume you are talking about Dolphin? Have you moved your children?

Would appreciate recent feedback on this school if anyone is happy to share here or pm? I was researching schools for my bright but socially immature kiddo and curious about this one.

Funfox, did you find the bullying was from teachers or other children?

Also interested in feedback - especially about Reddam; I have heard elsewhere that the teachers are not particularly focussed on the children really. Happy to receive PMs.

We're looking at Reddam and Holme Grange, but also local state primaries.
