Can you please recommend a mainstream secondary school that deals well with SEN - ANYWHERE in UK and UNDERSUBSCRIBED!

[SusieP40]

We want to move ds (Y8) from his current school as he is making no progress, is stressed and unhappy and is not having his SEN dealt with.

There is no other choice of school locally locally and so we have decided to move to an area with a school he could attend that might actually help him.

His SEN are dysgraphia/dyslexia and many aspergers-type traits (though this has not had a dx so far).

I had loads of fantastic suggestiions here on this thread

but unfortunately the schools I have called so far are generally oversubscribed.

Can anyone please recommend a school for us

Hi I know this is an old thread but we are in a very similar situation and was wondering if you d found anywhere that suited or you could suggest anything from your shortlist susiep. We have a son with ASD who starts secondary soon and would like a mainstream comp in nice friendly area. We also have a ds in year 1 and a toddler so access to primarys is also important. Would.love to hear any suggestions!

Hi did you find the school that helped? I am in your position now and realise when I am reading these (old) posts I am only getting half the picture. Help?
