Hi all! I'm looking for any advice/information on special needs schools within the Lanarkshire area! My son is due to start school next year and we have decided on special needs school for him, but don't really know much about any and would be grateful for any feedback!!

Thanks!

I have always found the mainstream schools pretty good. But it's also good to have a choice.
Here is a list of the North Lanarkshire special schools. Inspection Reports are available from the Governments website. Just google the school name: e.g.http://www.hmie.gov.uk/documents/inspection/8518149BothwellparkHS.html
