Main stream or special school - which way to go?

kpnutz954

My daughter is due to start school next September and currently attends a mainstream pre-school to our local infant school. I've just been to look round a local speacial school and am now soooooooooooo confused. Which is going to be best for her? The million dollar question i know, but guidance would be appreciated!!

  • Hi, my 10 year old son started special school in september. He is diagnosed high functioning autism, he was fine at school until year 5, he was then granted a statement. It was a difficult decision, but asfter looking at the specialist school there was no contest. The thought of secondary school terrified me, he would have been bullied. He started his new school in september with the most amazing results. He is happy, he cannot wait to go to school, prompts his own getting ready. He is a different child. We went to his first parent evening on wednesday to be told he was very bright, after his main stream school said he had profound learning difficulty. My son's new school has unlocked his potential. Goodluck
