we will be moving soon (hopefully) & i have the choice between 2 schools for my dds (who will be in reception & year 2 in september) <br /> im unsure as to which to go for. there are fors & againsts for both schools. <br /> main points being: school 1, the larger of the two (320 pupils) is usually not popular but i liked the headteacher a lot & the children seemed happy & well behaved, though ofsted (from 2 years ago) mentions parents concerns about bullying not being dealt with. this is a bit of a worry for me because my eldest is very quiet & shy & a bit of a target for bullies (though shes been ok so far at her current school) the school gets average to good results. it also has a swimming pool (which they would love) <br /> school 2, very small (only 140 max on roll) has fabulous new computers & whiteboards (quite unexpected in a small school) & has a good ofsted & consistent good results. only drawback being that because it has mixed age group classes both my dd
s would share a playground for the first year. (i have visions of the eldest clinging to her far more confident sister & alienating herself from her peer group)
which type of school do you prefer? given the choice would you go for a small or large school?
