Hi, was just wondering if there's anyone here who can offer an opinion on the merits of sending children to single or mixed sex prep-schools, and whether it makes a difference if they have siblings of the same or opposite sex?
We have been looking at various prep schools in the area since our son was born, with a view to him going into one for pre-prep at 2 and a half-ish. There is a great boys school, with an excellent reputation (drawback is that it doesn't have pre-prep and starts at 4, so we'd have to choose another pre-school/nursery).
We have found out we're going to be having a little girl in May, the age gap will be 22 months, and have been thinking about how this will affect things. There are two really lovely girl's schools within walking distance of our house, with kindergartens, which it would be lovely to send her to.
Finally, there is one co-ed prep school we like the look of, which also has a kindergarten.
It would be a bit silly to send DS to the co-ed place, and then have DD going to a girl's school nearby, wouldn't it? Is it nicer for them to be at the same school... any thoughts at all on my ramblings?!?
