Does anyone live in an area where the state schools are really better than the private ones? I picked this up elsewhere but am afraid to comment there.
I have lived and worked in the Midlands where there are few private schools to choose but the state schools are not very good. I have lived in Nottingham, where again I felt the state schools were poor.
Even in London there were some awful schools and private was best.
I currently live in Cornwall having got here working in Exeter, Plymouth and Barnstaple. None of the state schools were good there.
Just wondered where the good state provision is. Is it just odd schools within a mass of poor provision or are there really whole areas where state schools are better?
Thanks.
(PS I have my own DC in a boarding school partly because of the state schooling and partly because we move around so much)
