Hello,
We are moving from Scotland to the Farnham area (DH has new job based in Farnham but we are hoping to decide on school before house).
Could anyone offer some thoughts on private schools meeting the following criteria:
- DD is 8 and we would like a school which goes right through to seniors if possible
- Not too posh! We are looking for a nice school but not too full on if you know what I mean!
- DD is bright but not overly academic. We would like somewhere where she would be supported and pushed to reach her potential but not somewhere where all the kids are super bright.
DD is fairly quiet and this move is going to be a big deal for her. Current school is lovely, pretty small but with good facilities. Teachers know all the kids really well. We would be keen for something similar.
I know I am asking a lot but hopefully from the above someone will get a feel for what we are looking for.
Someone had mentioned a school called Manor House School? Does this mean anything to anyone?
Also, as I said, Farnham is the only "fixed" thing so far in this move but we would be happy to live anywhere up to about 30 - 40 mins from here. We don't have a massive budget for a house but hopefully can get something that will be fine for us. If anyone feels like offering advise on areas to live it you are not mega rich then please feel free. Guildford looks nice but I'm guessing expensive too!
Hopefully the curricumum in Scotland isn't too far off England. That's another worry.
Thanks for any help offered and Merry Christmas to all.
