Just wondering if anyone has experience of sending their twins to separate schools from the start, or could offer any advice.
I have b/g twins and we are considering independent schools from next September, when they will be 3.5. There are no co-ed prep schools near us, so they would have to go to single sex schools, but the idea of separating them worries me.
At the moment, they are close and enjoy playing together, but are very different characters and with separate interests. They currently go to nursery 3 days a week when I'm at work and have completely separate friends, my DS only has male friends and my DD female friends. However, they do play together at nursery, will seek each other out for comfort and are protective of each other. They are never really apart so I have no idea how they will cope away from each other at such a young age.
On the flip side my DD is quite dominant and could potentially overshadow her brother at school as they get older, but I don't feel this is enough of a reason to separate them.
The local primary is also an option obviously but very oversubscribed hence considering independent.
Any thoughts / advice gratefully received?
