URGENT HELP NEEDED - schools in London and SE for AS girls

Have just received a proposed statement for my daughter and need to name a school by 2nd July. We're really struggling to come up with suitable options.

She is yr 7 and currently in mainstream but has not been able to attend since February due to school related anxiety. She is selectively mute when in school but was still achieving very highly academically. Also musically talented (has grade 8 violin) and loves languages. She couldn't cope with the environment and made no friends.

The statement says that she needs smaller class size and school with knowledge of ASD.

Any suggestions welcome. We live in South East London but could look up to an hours drive away or even residential for the right school. Any type of school, mainstream unit, specialist or mainstream independent considered.

Take a look at Priory and Cambian schools for HF/ASD. They are £££.

LVS Hassocks? Blossom House? Maybe The New School at West Heath?

With Icimoi - LVS Hassocks BUT they used to have a no-exam policy (eg - GCSEs) which might not suit an academically-able student. This might have changed now and other than that completely worth a look. I couldn't rule out exams for my ds and sometimes regret that I didn't name LVS.

Have a look at Gretton, is Cambridge too far?
