Help with secondary schools in south London

[Sunshineandreign]

Hello really struggling to find a school for an academic autistic 15 year old in South London, they all seem to be in north London.
Any recommendations?

Mainstream or special/specialist?

Specialist

It depends on DS’s profile, but depending where in South London you are Centre Academy may be reachable. Although some find it overwhelming. Some go to Brown’s from South London. For some in South London, The Rise is within travelling distance. You could also consider Woodview if it is close enough.

There is Wemms - a marmite school which parents either love or hate. Depending on where you are and how needs present, if male, More House may be within travelling distance. Also in Surrey is Unsted Park if that is within travelling distance. It can cater for academically able DC. For example, it sends some DC to university including one to medical school a few years ago.

Not specialist but you could look at Canbury. Technically a mainstream but not a typical mainstream. Although if DS needs significant therapeutic provision they can’t provide that.
