My 4.1 year old has been offered a place at a good primary school, our second choice, but it doesn't reflect our community at all. Our first choice of school is rather less good academically but is much gentler and is a true reflection of our community.
DS1 attends a great Montessori nursery at the moment which he loves.
He is confident, enjoys other children and seems to be doing well in terms of his development. He has no special needs and I'm sure he would cope with the school where he has been allocated a place. The problem is that I feel very strongly that this school doesn't embrace our vision of what childhood should be and I resent the LEA for forcing us into a school that isn't right.
DH and I are both well qualified and experienced secondary school English teachers. We aren't intimidated by silly demands regarding HE made by the LEA.
Could anyone talk to me about thier experiences of the benefits of HE with confident, happy go lucky children who would probably be happy at school and are quite academically able but not profoundly gifted?
