Despairing parent - ADHD and dyslexia school suggestions

Hello. I am despairing and would really be grateful if anyone could help. My DC has a diagnosis of ADHD/dyslexia/dyscalculia/auditory processing disorder. Due to such complex needs we have decided years ago to pursue independent education. Small classroom sizes and 1-1 extra support in English and Maths had helped immensely in the past, but everything is falling to pieces now. We are on the cusp of adolescence and DC has become very combative in regards to extra support. Current mainstream school is lovely and nurturing, but lacks. We need a place that will not only take DC in, but stretch DC to the best of DC's ability. DC needs specialist education or at the very least mainstream with very strong SEND. Next year we are on to secondary education and DC could very well stay put at current school (all the way to 18), but we feel with the widening gaps in learning (a few years behind) specialist school is the way to go. Can anyone please suggest some names in Windsor/Maidenhead area, Wokingham, Chertsey. Thank you so much.

Moorehouse? Just off A3 so might be doable - otherwise possible boarding elsewhere?

Boy? Girl?

Hi OP. If your DC is a boy, More House in Frensham (www.morehouseschool.co.uk) is outstanding. My son started in September (year 7) and loves it. Several boys travel there from the areas you mentioned. Please feel free to PM me for further info.

If a boy, take a look at shiplake.
