Dd is currently in state reception and we are looking at moving her to begin year one.
We have looked at two schools.
One is girls boarding/day school. There are a few boys in Early years....and now in sixth form. Beautiful site.... has dance and equestrian facilities. Swimming pool and a wonderful reputation. Under 200 pupils in total. Pupils stay on same site throughout their stay. About 15 min car journey from home.
Year 1/2 combined is only 12 children.
School two is co ed....originally a boarding school for boy choristers. Larger classes of around 14.
Seems to have a good energy lots going on. Lovely setting although from year 4 classes are split into subjects....they move around a central based site in local town. A friend moved her dc from here due to bullying.
Any thoughts on girls only setting?
Can a class of 12 be a bad move?
Dd is a bright button ....intelligent and average so far with extra help needed with reading and writing. Although at 5 I have no concerns about this at all.
Dp had boarding education I was state so would welcome any help or opinions at all.
Both schools roughly same cost.
Any thoughts would be welcomed.
Many thanks
