Still haven't chosen my year 6 dd's Secondary School . . . with less than 24 hours to go until the deadline.
I would love to hear peoples stories/opinions on how they choose and why and did they choose the right one.
Do I go along with the flow and send her to the most popular local secondary for convenience or do I make huge changes practically and nin order to send her to a what I feel could be a "better" school further away?
I have no idea which one she will be happiest at. Both are good schools, both have good reputations and both had good Ofsted's. The only real difference is the number of pupils. The local one has 1000+ and the other less than half that amount. Does that make a difference to how a school is run? does it affect the "feel" of the school and is bullying more likely in a larger school?
My year 6 dd is in a very small Village Primary of about 85 pupils - but she's not as nervous as I am about transferring to a much larger one, but she is quite immature for her age and very sensitive. Am I over worrying?
