How good is your school for SEN?

Hi my son has average ability and does well in sports, drama, IT and technology. He finds it hard to focus but holds it down at school most days. Does anyone have experience of a secondary mainstream school (state or otherwise) which meets the needs of SEN children in practice – some of these schools have lengthy online SEND policies which are little more than words? If anyone could share their experiences public or PM, would love to hear from you.

DS3’s school is brilliant. He has an EHCP with a personalised timetable. At the moment he is going through a tough patch, but until recently he was happy and thriving there.

Does DS have an EHCP? If so, the provision in there must be provided. Without an EHCP the support any school can provide will be more limited.

Yes, he does have an EHCP.
