Tips to help you choose your school

Finding the right school for your child or young person is always concerning for parents/carers and with a child with special educational needs or a disability, the process can be even more challenging.

Choosing a school can be one of the biggest decisions you as a parent make, particularly when your child has SEN and/or disabilities (SEND). Most children with SEND will go to a local mainstream school. We are often asked ‘which school would be best for my child?’ but we are unable to recommend schools because every child is unique and has different experiences.

TO help you with these decisions, SENDIASS has put together a helpful guide which you can download here.

KIDS charity also has some helpful tips to guide parents through the primary to secondary school transition process – you can find these on their website here
