Look at everyday school life
- Student support: ask how the school helps a child who needs academic or emotional support.
- Communication: ask how parents receive updates and contact teachers.
- Facilities: visit classrooms and activity spaces, and ask how often your child will use them.
- Travel: consider the daily journey and current school transport coverage.
- Costs: request a complete written fee schedule for your chosen grade.
Evidence to request before deciding
Ask for recent, dated academic outcomes where available, programme details, the school’s policies and an explanation of student support. Speak to the admissions team about what success looks like for students with needs and goals similar to your child’s.
