Hi wise people
We're at the stage of choosing a high school for our youngest DS and I'm struggling a bit
Our older 3 children have all had mixed experiences of high school-one experienced bullying, one found high school generally overwhelming and just too big, and one thought it was ok (mainly!!). They went to two different schools. All have come out the other side and gone on to uni where they've thrived, and the next closest in age to the youngest is about to start A levels.
All of the older DC have said I should find a "better" school than the ones they went to for our youngest but they've struggled to really identify what they think "better" means!
We have several schools nearby which are all similar in terms of achievement, Ofsted reports, size etc
So...in your experience, what are the magic ingredients that set a school apart from its peers to the extent that going to school is actually enjoyable for pupils (if that's possible)
Ps DS3,will of course have a say in all this!!
