My year 5 son has AS and a full-time statement at our local primary school. He is 'AS clever' (top of year and exceptional at maths/science/reading - poor imagination for creative writing). While he does find the social/emotional world difficult, he is extremely outgoing and has a few good friends. He falls between stools re secondary - needs to be in the state system for the support but is academically very able and eager. We need an academic secondary at a reasonable distance from Islington - Owen's is too far (very few local friends) - that has great pastoral care and understands idiosyncratic kids. Does anyone have experience of Latymer (the Edmonton one) that might help us? Or any other suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
