Hello
I am hoping for some advice about secondary school choices for my daughter. I have a daughter with mild hemiplegia. She is meeting expectations at school and is capable but she can struggle as she is anxious, sensitive, lacks confidence and can easily feel overwhelmed. Although she is fun (and great company) and liked at school she doesn't have a lot of good friends.
We have a bit of time in hand yet (she is 9) but I already feel anxious about transition to secondary school. I think a gentler, smaller school would suit her better and they all look huge. I am trying to get an idea of our options at the moment.
Any advice about local secondary schools would be welcome, state or independent. We live in Putney. I am hoping for somewhere that is genuinely supportive with SEN and has an understanding of how to support a child/young person with physical disability.
Thank you
