Alleyn's in Dulwich -

Can anyone tell me what they are like with children in the junior school (age 8 years) who have mild SEN? Very bright child, capable in many areas but struggles at times socially, not autistic just confidence wise, wellbeing wise, very highly sensitive, kind and possible sensory issues/past medical trauma.

Considering a house move and school change.

Thank you!

I’ve known them be very supportive of a child with autism. Extremely bright and not disruptive, which I’m sure was part of it!

Extra support has to be paid for and is £££.

My concern would be places - it would be rare for a sport to come up in year 3 or 4.
