I'm looking for a school for DS1. Would prefer a church school (we are Catholic but there are none locally, nearest 20-30min drive with a poor ofsted report). However, our nearest CofE school is in the next village. 5 min drive, chocolate box type place, maypole in the grounds, etc etc. BUT there are only 50 pupils in the school, so different year groups are put together.
They have a good Ofsted and the school has a lovely feel to it, very nice staff too, it just feels like a big home really.
Alternatively, there is a community primary school which is walking distance, 250 on roll and an outstanding Ofsted given this year.
So, anyone out there with a child at a very small school who knows the pros/cons?
