Hi
I'd really appreciate some thoughts - I'm a single mum with three dcs and don't now what I should be looking for in a school or what questions I should be asking.
My 9 year old DS is very bright but rather lazy and can be quite arrogant. He can also be very sensitive and kind. He isn't terribly popular amongst his male peers at school as far as I can see.
He gets on really well with his siblings, a boy and a girl aged 7 and 6.
My DS's teachers have suggested he should try for the 11 plus and so he is having weely classes but I am not sure which (if any) school he should go for.
I'm not sure whether he would thrive or shrivel in a single sex school and I worry he might be bullied.
Has anyone any thoughts about single sex schools and any knowledge of these two schools?
I am due to go to the open days soon but I really don't know what I should be asking or looking for. I feel completely out of my depth
