London school good for teens with mental health issues

Hi, my daughter is finishing year 9. She used to be very good at everything academic (and creative) until the first lock down. Her school didn't give her much work at all for the rest of the year 8. She changed school in November and with the lock downs (and isolation episodes), she found it very difficult getting back into learning. Her mental health also suffered badly since the beginning of the pandemic. She now finds being in a classroom with 30 other girls very overwhelming, she can't concentrate, feels completely behind in her learning, doesn't care about learning and is now refusing to go to school. I'm considering home schooling (though I think it'll be very difficult as she's not self motivated at all) but I was also wondering if any of you know of (probably private) schools that have small classrooms and facilitate learning for teens with mental health issues. Grateful for any advise! Thanks

This one might tick the right boxes for you. I don't think it's particularly religious despite the name, but it gets a lot of good press for children with SEN

You don't say where in London, so this might be too far away.

I've recently come across Bromley independent grammar school. Apparently they limit class sizes to 14.

I've no idea what it's actually like but am looking into it for our 2.

Thanks! Will look into those 2. We're in South East London
