Hi, I've got a few things schools related to get off my chest today!
My child is at a private pre-prep that gives it's pupils a very good chance of gaining a place at a very sought after senior school that's nearby.
The 2 schools are not linked but the pre-prep does obviously feed a lot of children into this high achieving senior school.
I've noticed that higher up the school, a number of children arrive from other schools in year 2. They attend the school for a year, then go onto apply for places at the sought after secondary. With increased entry chances I would guess as their child is now applying from the recognised 'feeder' school.
Is this commonplace? Do you know of people who do this? I would worry about my child having to sit entrance interviews and exams whilst contending with starting at a new school and having to make new friends and settle in.
Interested to hear others thoughts on this.
