School choices

[Alwaysthesunshine]

Hello, I was hoping to get some advice. My sporty, dyslexic, 12yr old daughter is very unhappy at her current state secondary school due to being put in the bottom set, which is very disruptive. We are looking at Royal Russell, Radnor House Sevenoaks and Croydon High as alternatives so she can have smaller class sizes and more sport. Does anyone have any experience of the schools and their sport + SEN provision?

Have you looked at their ISI reports? They're free to download and will also tell you how many SEN children are on roll. I only know Radnor out of those three. It has a nice pool and good sports fields. It's a rural setting though. If you have a girl, it may be worth considering Walthamstow Hall as well (especially if you wanted DC to be able to use public transport).

Depending on where you are, Sackville School in Tonbridge could be worth a look.

Oops, you said daughter, sorry!

Thanks for your suggestions @Phineyj. I have read the ISI and visited the schools but I was hoping to get some reviews with those from personal experience of the schools as the inspection reports don't always give an accurate picture of provision, particularly for SEN.
