Mainstream or Specialist schools.

NAS75657

My Son in year 2 recently moved from a mainstream to a specialist school. I am already seeing a positive difference he is happier, more settled and making more progress now. What type of schools do your children attend and which do you feel is best for them? It was suggested we put him in a specialist school from nursery but we wanted to give him time in mainstream with support first, he was happy and made progress but not once his 1:1, TA left in year 1 and was never replaced. .

  • For my son, specialist school was the way to go. He did go to mainstream primary but things got progressively more difficult for him to cope with. It got to the point that he was absent for over a year and was completely overwhelmed.  As parents, we had to fight extremely hard and build a case to get him into a specialist school. It’s been 6 years since then and the difference it has made for him is incredible. He has access to education and the extra support he needs
