Need a small nurturing 6th form in NW London but happy to move

[Catnip0077]

Hi everyone,
Please can you help us. I’m looking for suggestions for sixth form or post-16 options for my son who suffers from PTSD and anxiety after severe bullying in secondary school. He's intellectually capable, but needs a very safe, supportive environment with small class sizes and strong pastoral care because he's faced some really tough experiences with bullying in his earlier school, and we've struggled as a family for a while now.

At the moment- after many false starts- he's finally in a small, nurturing setting that suits him really well, but sadly that school only goes up to age 16, so we need to find somewhere for after GCSEs.

We’re based in North West London but are happy to travel within London or just beyond if it’s the right fit. I’d really value personal experiences — especially any sixth forms/colleges where pastoral care is genuinely good, class sizes are manageable, and students are treated as individuals as we are afraid of a regression if we don't find a good fit .
Many many thanks

What A levels or other courses is he planning on doing? Are you looking for private or state?

If you’re after private, Brampton and Hampstead Fine Arts are small. A couple of IB schools - Halcyon in Central London or Dwight - are pretty small.

Have you thought about St Chris in Letchworth? Lots of North London kids go and it’s a good fit for pupils who have struggled in the past. I will pm you.

Gosh thank you all. This is my first attempt at Mumsnet as we are so lost. Really grateful. Forgot to add he also has an EHCP- and wondering if a private college like Brampton or school like St Chris can be named on it?

@Catnip0077 how are things going with your search now? Did you look at getting either St Chris or Brampton named?
