Wheelchair users at North London private schools?

We live in Highbury, and we are starting to think about schools for our 2 year old DD. She has a muscular condition that means she is unlikely to learn to walk (and is already whizzing around in her tiny wheelchair). Her condition doesn't affect her cognitively, and it seems (as far as it is possible to tell) that she might enjoy somewhere academically challenging. She was a very early talker, and she likes to focus on drawings and puzzles for long periods of time.

Does anyone know any North London private schools that are good for wheelchair access? I would be particularly interested if anyone knows schools that already have (or have had recently) pupils in wheelchairs. Thank you 🙏

I've seen a girl in a wheelchair at NLCS, pushed by a (supposedly) staff member after school.

Schools with more modern buildings are more likely to be able to accommodate a wheelchair user - it is incredibly difficult to retrofit very old buildings with disabled access.
