- Pray. Pray about your concerns. I believe so much in Prayer.
- Your Child. Know your child and where he/she fits.
- The school website. Learn more about your schools of choice.
- Leavers Destination. Where do most of the year 6 children end up?
- Ofsted. This is what a panel feels about the school, look at the areas for improvement section and see if you can work with it before it improves?
- Visits. what a panel says should not be the only determinant, visit the school and have a feel yourself.
- Talk to Parents. stand in front of the gate and talk to existing parents coming to pick their kids.
- Meet the head. Speak to the head of school, are you free with her or him. Do you see you having a good relationship for a long time?
- Go to state and Private. if you are considering both options, visit both and make your judgements.
- Talk to friends. you may have friends with kids in school already, talk to them. They save you a lot of google search on information.
- Dont join others. Mr or Mrs As child is in a private school should not be the reason you are sending your child to one.
From a parent that went through a lot making a decision.
