  • Arrange a visit if you can and see what they have to say.  If their target is some degree of inclusion in the mainstream, do get a clear statement from them, if you do go, on how much time your son can spend out of the mainstream if he needs to, and ensure that you can pull him out of subjects/classes which prove too stressful.  Your own target is a happy child, as settled as he can be, so it's worth checking that the school's is the same and not something measured purely in potential GCSEs.

    Hope that helps.
