We chose a large academic indie school over an outstanding cofe comp for our ds to start in Sept. DS is super bright and we have been given brilliant financial help from the school. Although I am sure he will get the best education at the school we have chosen; I have now started to worry about how he might mix with the other children (I am assuming many of them will be from priviledged backgrounds and we are an ordinary working class family who will struggle to pay even the very low discounted fees). I realise we are very lucky to have this opportunity, but can't stop myself from wondering if we should have just plumped for the comprehensive and stayed within our comfort zone!! I'd love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation.
