Changing schools

[Sorcs]

Hi, My DS is 5.5 with ASD HF & has we have just received our proposed EHCP.

He currently attends a very small independent school who have very little facilities or experience in place to deal with his needs although they have done a fantastic job for the last year with the help of a full time 1-1 ta.

Unfortunately we don’t feel it’s the right school for him going forward and I’m not yet sure if they will be able to achieve all the targets set out in his ehcp. So we have started to look at other state schools in our area & beyond.

So does anyone know of any mainstream schools in Berkshire, Surrey or even Hampshire that include kids with special needs in the class but also have units where they can take them out for extra help & respite or downtime etc..

I only know of one in Wokingham (Westende, little archons unit) but I’m really struggling to find anymore.

Thsnks!

Hi,
There's a PDF on choosing a school in Surrey here, with a list of schools with units:

www.surreylocaloffer.org.uk/kb5/surrey/localoffer/advice.page?id=9TS_tpdTXU0

Good luck with your search.

Thanks, I’ve looked through the page on what each school & what they provide but all I can see is a list of special schools at the end of it, unless I’ve missed something?

Can you send me a link to a list of mainstream schools that have units in them if there is one?

Thank you

It's a PDF and there's no way of attaching or linking to a PDF on here, as far as I can see. Go to page 30 of the PDF entitled "Finding the right primary school in Surrey." The "specialist centres" are mainstream primaries with units.

Ah I see it now! It’s not easy to read through it on my phone. Thanks
