Questions to ask the school

  1. Can you support a child with my child's specific need (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism), and have you done so this year? Ask for concrete examples.
  2. Is there an additional fee for learning support or EAL — and how much per year?
  3. Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?
