Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL)

[ab224]

Does anyone have experience of an ADHD child at the Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL) please? I'd appreciate hearing of experiences in both the primary and secondary ages of the school. Were the SEN team and teachers supportive and knowledgable about ADHD? My child (8) is bright, articulate, and can 'access the curriculum' but struggles with focus and attention in large groups. Works well in smaller groups.
Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences.

i have a friend whose daughter has adhd and ASD - she did senior at GSL from year 7 to 11 but then left and went to Tad Grammar (state) instead for sixth form. She found it hard, but I think the teachers were largely ok. Like your daughter she is bright and can access the curriculum well.

basically I think she would have found senior hard anywhere, due to the movement around classrooms, extra demands etc, but GSL were good with her. I know the move to Tad was more to reduce the commute than anything else.

sorry that’s probably not helpful!

I know this is an old thread, but I had the same question and was wondering if anyone else had any experience of ADHD adjustments at GSAL?
