Secondary school in Cambridges or Birmingham

[goodboys]

I'm looking for a secondary school for my son in either Cambridge or Birmingham, any info will help. Thank you so much!

My son is suffering fromASD

It will help others to know a bit more information. Are you looking for a mainstream or special school? Does DS have an EHCP?

I'm looking for mainstream school, either state or independent school is fine

If he is academic then definitely look at The Perse in Cambridge.

I would very highly recommend St George's in Birmingham. They have a lot of SN students and they go the extra mile in making sure SN students do not fall behind other students. I am now retired but taught there for several years and I can tell you I taught many SN children who had so much support they frequently came out with 7 or 8 good GCSES. Dyslexic children got extra English in very small groups in registration time. They take a lot of autistic children and all staff are trained by National Autistic Society. Classes are small often 14. Sixth Form is excellent and students study a very wide range of A levels, BTECS and can resit any GCSE to improve grades. They very much focus on individuals and how every child matters and can have a personal learning mentor. They get good grades. Go for Open Day.
