Secondary private education - ASD ADHD dyscalculia

[VLady]

I'm looking for the right school for our eldest with ASD (high functioning), attention issues and dyscalculia (he's not statemented but we have an Ed Psych report that highlights the presence of the above). Currently in a small mainstream independent school and managing well despite his difficulties but we really feel we need to look for the right senior school (if that exists). He's currently year 6 and in the private system will be moving on after year 8. We've been to see Ellesmere College and are due to go visit Bredon School, as I understand both are great for learning support. We'd be happy to move, so location isn't an issue if we can find the right place for him. Any advice would be so gratefully received!

ASD and ADHD are medical diagnoses. Do you have this or just an educational psychologist report?

I have a friend who has dyslexic boys in yr8 and yr 10 at Ellesmere. They moved from Surrey three years ago to go to the school. Boys are absolutely flying there

We have various assessment reports (OT, SLD & Ed Psych), we just haven't gone down the more formal NHS diagnosis route. We're not as concerned with the 'diagnosis' per se but rather looking to find a school that will provide support for his individual quirks.

@Lara53 This is great to hear, thank you so much. Whilst dyslexia is definitely not an issue here, it's good to know that they are able to support various needs. I'll take a look at More House - thank you fo the tip!
