My so who has a diagnosis of HFA started in year 7 at Kingsdale earlier this month. He doesn't have an EHCP but was on school action plus at primary.


At his primary school I was part of a group of parents of children with SN who used to meet twice a term to share strategies and knowledge about helping our children negotiate school. The group was set up by the school and supported by the SENCO. I'm feeling a bit isolated now he's at secondary because of having so little contact with other parents there.


I'm a bit intimidated by Kingsdale - it's just so flipping huge now, and the staff are clearly run off their feet. I've had no communication from the SN department at all, and last week it transpired than my son's tutor wasn't aware of my son's diagnosis at all, which suggests that maybe many of his other teachers aren't aware either. My son doesn't present in a typical way for HFA but he's actually quite significantly impaired and needed a lot of support at primary.


I could really do with some insight from another parent of a child with HFA at Kingsdale who knows how things work there. Is there anyone on this forum who could give me the low down and some tips for dealing with the school?


Thanks!

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
