Currently looking at both of these amazing schools.

Apart from the fact that one caters for boarders how do they compare?

Does one suit a particular style of SEN?

I'd love feedback from anyone who has any opinions/insight!

Thank you!

Hi
We looked at both of these schools for our Dyslexic 10 year old.
We loved both. However we chose Bruern, and he started in January. Feel free to PM me!

I’m also looking for my dyspraxia 8 year old, the fees are staggering though…

@HeyThereDelilah1 Have you explored EHCPs and Bursaries?
We are paying the fees currently, but have applied for both. So hoping, we will get some help financially.
Because yes they are both very expensive!

My DS does not have Dyslexia or Dyscalculia but does have ADHD which leads to many spelling errors, "careless" mistakes, difficulty retaining certain concepts, probably because of mediocre Working Memory. He's 8 but already becoming frustrated academically. His unmedicated IQ is in the 93rd percentile but his marks are generally poor because of these issues. He lives for lunch and sports. Would Bruern be the right kind of school for him?
