Indie schools suitable for SEN child
Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2014 7:19 pm
Hello all,
I'm looking for any advice on indie schools in the South Bucks / Chiltern area for my DS who is currently in year 4. We are looking at indie as an alternative to grammar irrespective of weather he passes 11+ or not. We will send him to the school that best meets his needs.
We have a few issues. Firstly, DS has SEN and requires substantial support in his current school to help him. Now he is medicated and maturing he is becoming more aware of his condition and how to manage it. As a result his school work has improved significantly. We need a school that will fully support him and his SEN. The smaller nature of an indie appeals to us.
He is also very sporty and competes in 2 (3 next year) sports. He really needs his daily dose of sport to keep him focused and he enjoys it. The school would also need to have a range of sporting opportunities for him.
Financially we are not in a great position for paying school fees, and could not afford the full amount..
Are there any schools that fit the above criteria and offer scholarships / financial aid and what is the income cap on this.
Sorry for so many questions, we have just started looking and really just hoping for some pointers in the right direction. Thank you.
