My friend is moving to Gloucestershire in a few months and needs to find a senior school for her severely dyslexic daughter. Any advice? She is severely dyslexic so mainstream may be a problem. She is currently attending a semi-specialist school in London. I say semi as they are not a special school technically but have some special classes and offer a lot of support for kids with mild to moderate SEN

Does anyone know Blossom House school in Wimbledon? I'm thinking about it for my daughter with ASD. She is currently in a lovely small primary but we've been told she won't cope in secondary mainstream.

Am I the only one totally disillusioned by my school because of the support they offered my daughter over the last few months? Or shall I say - total lack of support?! She has no EHCP but diagnosed SPD and all the anxiety that comes with it. We had two emails from school to ask if she was ok. That's it... No advice, nothing. And a call from SENCO (on my request) whose attitude was a bit - it is what it is, what do you want us to do. My daughter has struggled and I now feel that perhaps this is not the right school for her. So I'm here. Am I being too emotional? Too hasty? Are other people also considering new schools after the last few months? I really think it showed which schools are genuinely committed to SEN.
