Deciding on a school for my ASD son

good evening.... My son Alfie was diagnosed with ASD when he was 9, and seemed to cope with mainstream school until he hit year 8 of secondary school when he started getting involved in arguments and fights with children and teachers as he was obviously not coping... His main stream school did everything to support him, but eventually the violence became too much and they asked him to leave in November last year.

Alfies EHCP came through about 2 weeks ago, and the SEN officer went on to recommend  6 possible schools... I decided to phone them myself and have already ruled out three as they do not have the provisions to educate him in the way he needs, a forth is full and the last two are too special needs for him
