My eldest is about to start reception in September. I have been told she is gifted (she is on oxford reading tree level 9 - finds it easy and can do sums with double digits etc).
We can not afford to send both our girls to a private prep school - but, could scrape by sending just one. Our other daugher is just 2 and is all togther a very different person - average intellegence but full of fun and very social.
I am having a moral dilema as to whether it would be fair to send the eldest to a prep school which would suit her well and where I know she would really benefit developmentally from a small class size and send her sister to the local state primary (which has a good ofsted)but has large classes.
Has anyone done this? Did it work out? Was one jealous of the other - or is it possible build the right relationship between the two siblings that it really doesn't matter? Any advice welcome.
