Hi everyone,
My DD is dyslexic and we're planning for her Year 7 start in September 2027. I'm prioritizing effective SEND support and considering two options: Solihull School and Edgbaston High School for Girls (EHS).
Option 1: Solihull School (Year 6 entry, 2026)
I'm considering a move for Year 6 (J4) now.
Dyslexia Support: I've heard the support is great in Junior School but becomes less comprehensive/specialised in the Senior School. Is this true for current parents of older dyslexic students?
Year 6 Admissions (6+): Is it very competitive? Does anyone know the approximate number of applicants per place for J4 (6+)?
Option 2: Edgbaston High School for Girls (EHS) (Year 7 entry, 2027)
Dyslexia Support: What is the Learning Support Department like at EHS for dyslexic girls? Is it genuinely effective with individual interventions?
Overall Comparison: How do these schools compare on pastoral care and overall environment for a creative, dyslexic child?
Any recent experience with either school's SEND provision would be hugely appreciated! Thank you
