We are looking at independent schools for next Sept 26, who will take a late entrant going into Y9 (I’m aware a number of schools have already set their Y9 lists with the early entrance process from Y6). My son is neurodivergent (high functioning ASD) but bright and specifically is a natural at maths. So he needs somewhere he will be able to take maths at a higher level where further maths gcse is, at least, offered. I have heard King Edward’s Witley is good with neurodivergent children; does anyone else have experience there: is it genuinely good for neurodiverse children? He doesn’t necessarily want an action packed day, so somewhere serious about academics but also nuturing would be good with small class numbers. Also, if there are other schools suggested, we ought to consider too (within Surrey)?
Also, as our son will be going into Y9 - I’d like somewhere that really he has the option to stay until 18.
Many thanks
